    Episode 73 - The Visitor Center
    Dec 19 2024

    Welcome to the Juras-Sick Park-Cast podcast, the Jurassic Park podcast about Michael Crichton's 1990 novel Jurassic Park, and also not about that, too.

    Find the episode webpage at: Episode 73 - The Visitor's Center.

    In this episode (stream it here), my terrific guest Lindsey Kinsella returns to the show to chat with me about:

    the carnotaurus, his novel The Lazarus Taxa, neat twists, his novel The Heart of Pangea, Dimetrodon narrators, naming characters, "That moment" in the book, Thylacines, Homotheriums, his new book Broken Voyage, writing from an animal's point of view, his upcoming writing projects, and much more!

    Find his new book, Broken Voyage

    Book review:

    Stranded in the Arctic, the international crew of an illegal whaler find themselves in a race for survival. Can they survive the cold, the sea, and, most of all, each other?

    Pushed to desperation in a bleak world ravaged by climate change, Lora M’Bandi flees her homeland to join a group of unlikely outcasts aboard the whaling ship Livyatan. When an explosion rips through the vessel, the crew become shipwrecked deep inside the Arctic Circle—sabotaged by one of their own. Now, they must trek across the treacherous sea ice to reach dry land before the ice retreats—all the while with a traitor in their midst and fearsome predators stalking their every move.

    Available at this link! Plus dinosaur news about:

    • A new late-diverging non-hadrosaurid hadrosauroid (Dinosauria: Ornithopoda) from southwest China: support for interchange of dinosaur faunas across East Asia during the Late Cretaceous. (Qianjiangsaurus changshengi)
    • A new titanosaur from the La Colonia Formation (Campanian-Maastrichtian), Chubut Province, Argentina. (Titanomachya gimenezi)

    Featuring the music of Snale https://snalerock.bandcamp.com/

    Intro: Black Coffee, and the Outro: T-Shirts.

    The Text:

    Nothing this time.

    Then:

    Jurassic Park (1993): Sc. 8 "The Visitor Center"

    David Koepp's first draft, and Malia Scotch-Marmo's rewrite of Michael Crichton's draft of the script.

    Corrections:

    Side effects:

    May cause you to become a mainstream science denier, and definitely someone who doesn't believe everything they read!

    Find it on iTunes, on Spotify (click here!) or on Podbean (click here).

    Thank you!
