field trip 4: new years hangover special

Season 3 · Episode 6

Tuesday, January 13, 2026 • Duration 45:31

Happy new years! Or… well… close enough. Listen, we’re hungover, and we’re doing our best. It’s the NEW YEARS HANGOVER SPECIAL! Join the bio babes and friends for a bourbon tasting led by returning guest, Libby’s dad! Take some tums and grab your best (or worst) bourbon, this episode is a great excuse to DRINK! Everyone knows that a couple fingers of whisky makes the knowledge sink in better. All of this fancy bourbon might have been wasted on our $6 white wine palates, but we learned a ton and it was a wonderful way to pregame the gay club.

Drinking game: take a shot every time you hear the word bourbon

Thanks Libby’s parents! Sorry I threw up on your floor!

It’s the spooktacular Halloween special but black cats and vampire bats are overused. We need a fresh new Halloween animal mascot! The Bio Babes got a big steaming cauldron of creepy critters here, and we’re throwing them at the wall to see what sticks — we got spooky animals of all kinds, some deep sea friends, some slimy guys, some… some little frogs… a couple big ol lizards, a live bird, a dead bird, and whats that? Oh god.. what IS that thing? Libby did you put an Aye-aye in the cauldron? Fuck. This cauldron of creepy critters is going to be extra nasty. Happy Halloween! Some of these critters cannot be unseen, Google along at your own risk.

2.3: the sexiest goat on the island

Season 2 · Episode 3

Tuesday, June 4, 2024 • Duration 01:23:41

This episode journeys to the Galápagos islands where we investigate everyone’s favorite sterile, PTSD-ridden conservation leftovers. The islands are known for their iconic wildlife, but those dumb finches get plenty of attention, we wanna talk about the goats! And the absolutely insane honeypot style scheme to eradicate them. And the tortoises! Well, mostly just one named George. Have you ever wondered why goats hate helicopters? Wanna know how to get oil from a tortoise? Have you ever felt the deeply scientific urge to poke Chris Evans’ peck? Well so did lonesome George… possibly, I mean we can’t prove he didn’t. Pour yourself a Pina Colada and climb down into the cold, damp, turtle-filled hold of the HMS Beagle cause it’s island time baby!

2.2: pissin' and possums

Season 2 · Episode 2

Friday, March 29, 2024 • Duration 01:14:32

Hey everybody pees! You, me, astronauts, even lobsters pee. Sometimes pee smells like asparagus, or buttered popcorn. Sometimes it’s clear, or yellow, sometimes the medication you’re taking turns it blue. No matter what, you got to get rid of all that gross urea, but if you happen to be an orphaned baby animal, or like.. in space, peeing is gonna be kind of a big ask. Find out how they do it, and how many rats it takes to pee as much as a human.

We also go on wild tangent about possums. And lobster sex. So, you know, a pretty typical episode.

In honor of piss, we’ve partnered with Kula Cloth to host a giveaway! Instructions to enter are on our instagram @biobabespodcast

2.1: no thoughts just sirens

Season 2 · Episode 1

Tuesday, February 20, 2024 • Duration 01:12:19

It’s season 2 baby! And to kick things off we’re going to ask and answer all the hearing-related questions you’ve never wanted to know the answers to. What has better hearing a frog or a parakeet? How does bat echolocation even work? If a tree falls in the forest, and nobody is around to hear it, does it listen to Indian kirwani music? Can my chicken hear me sing to her? Are ghosts real? As usual, things go off the rails, and you’ll have to suffer through several minutes of ASMR to find out the answers. Sorry about that. Get yer listening ears ready for this sonic journey into the science of hearing!

PSA: If you are like Kelsey and would rather eat a lightbulb than listen through the ASMR bit, it runs from 0:01:55 to 0:06:05 feel free to skip it, we understand. The transcript for that section is below so you don’t have to miss the fun facts.

The ASMR transcript —

the intensity of a sound wave is measured in decibels. You can think of this as volume.
hertz on the other hand are used to measure the frequency of a sound wave, which is measured as the number of cycles per second. This is the pitch of the sound.
So when we talk about an animal’s hearing range, we’re referring to the range of frequencies it’s capable of detecting.
The human (and most mammals) ear is made up of 4 parts

The outer ear
The middle ear

Join us on what is quite possibly the best day of Kelsey’s life as we slorp through the muck and wade through the gunk to find a decomposing moose corpse that Libby is sure is around here somewhere. If your dark passenger also enjoys the clickity clacks of a moose bone marimba then you will love this adventure.
