There's more to paleontology than dinosaurs!

Palaeocast: "An open broadcast of paleontological information, a place where the beauty, diversity and complexity of the field can be conveyed and discussed in a digital format." Every interview-centric episode is associated with a blog post, organized by era and period.

Via The Integrative Paleontologists, which also mentions two other, excellent podcasts:

• Past Time - hosted by Stony Brook University grad students Adam Pritchard and Matt Borths. The audio's a bit rough, but it's a lot of fun.
• The Tetrapod Zoology Podcast - hosted by Darren Naish (of the also excellent Tetrapod Zoology blog) and palaeoartist John Conway.

I do not have time to listen to half the podcasts that I subscribe to, but I just added this one!

Thanks! Can I also recommend the Life in the Phanerozoic FB page? Because it's a great pick-me-up when you don't have time to read something.
