S1E6 - Let's Talk About (Not) Sex

Saison 1 · Épisode 6

jeudi 3 octobre 2024 • Durée 01:02:13

Content Warning: References to sex and nonviable pregnancies.

Spending every moment of waking life trying to get laid has its downsides, and for some organisms, the business of reproduction is just too much of a hassle. So why bother with mating at all? If you want something done right, sometimes you just have to do it yourself. In this episode, Nicole runs down the fascinating asexual strategies of plants and animals, from self-printing bananas to all-female lizards to condor virgin birth.

S1E5 - Koala Chlamydia

Saison 1 · Épisode 5

jeudi 22 août 2024 • Durée 56:01

Content Warning: graphic descriptions of STIs, death, some sprinkling of thinking too much about how much of a horror bodies are.

Koalas are well known for being disease ridden (at least in our circles) so lets talk about it. Chlamydia is highly contagious and deadly in koalas as well as birds, cows, and many other animals. This is a trip down sex education memory lane and details the horrible death that is untreated STIs.

S1E4 - Antechinus Sex Machines

Saison 1 · Épisode 4

jeudi 25 juillet 2024 • Durée 43:58

Content Warning: graphic descriptions of sex, violent acts

Turns out lots of animals just wait around till maturity and then turn into horny little guys. The genus Antechinus is no exception as males will mate over and over until exhaustion.

S2E6 - A Game of Cucks

Saison 2 · Épisode 6

jeudi 28 août 2025 • Durée 01:01:58

Content Warning: none

In this month's Filthy Animals, Rachel tests the strength of monogamous bonds in the animal kingdom by seeing what the data says about their infidelity. As it turns out, even in species where pair bonds are key to the social survival of the animals, reckless passion can play a big role in their breeding systems. Our host graciously brings us examples ranging from the expected (cuckoos, the species that gives us the word "cuckold") to the obscure (carrion beetles, whose relationship drama plays out in carcasses the world over).

S2E5 - The Dog That Never Died

Saison 2 · Épisode 5

jeudi 24 juillet 2025 • Durée 49:42

Content Warning: Discussion of cancer and related illnesses

Cancer is scary. A transmissible, STI-based cancer is even scarier. Canine Transmissible Venereal Tumor (CTVT) is the oldest, most prolific, cancer known in nature. And it's not alone. Nicole illustrates this bizarre disease which is expanding our understanding of cancer itself, and may have given one particular animal the key to immortality.
