  • Episode 42: Talking Walking With Dinosaurs 2025 (Featuring Andrew Stück)
    Jul 9 2025

    Episode 42 (insert Hitchhiker's Guide reference here) sees Marc, Natee and Gemma team up with Andrew Stück, the one and only Dino Dad, as we tackle surely one of the most divisive topics we have ever discussed on this show: the 2025 revival of Walking With Dinosaurs. Will it be a beloved classic like the original 1999 series, an embarassing turkey like the 2013 movie, or something in between? Are we as blown away as we were when we saw our first Diplodocus? Are we as menaced as we were by Liopleurodon? Are our heartstrings tugged as they were when we saw the last journey of Ornithocheirus? Are we as endeared as we were by Leallynasaura? What place is there for a Walking With Dinosaurs in this post-Prehistoric Planet world? Who skipped through the segments of modern-day palaeontology? Can Jim Kirkland save the day? And, most crucially of all: what did Andrew's children think? It's all here in today's action packed episode.

  • Episode 41: A Salute to Sovák
    May 30 2025

    Episode 41 of the famous Chasmosaurs Podcast is here, and it's a bittersweet one. Today's episode is a tribute to the recently departed Czech palaeoartist Jan Sovák (1953 - 2025) and his frankly ginormous body of work. So ginormous in fact, that we just had to dedicate an entire episode to him. But there's more to talk about. For one thing, there's the new Walking With Dinosaurs series, which we refuse to review in this episode! Also, there's a whole bunch of other palaeomedia coming, as well! Why don't the English know about Jan Sovák? Did the keen olfactory sense of tyrannosaurs evolve to smell the flowers? Will Natee ever live down that time when they started comparing people to Thomas Kinkade? And who will bring the popcorn? Join us as we give you our monthly roundup, and as we dive deep into the life and works of one of Europe's finest dinosaur artists.

  • Episode 40: Danish Delights and Terrible Tyrants (Featuring Mark Witton)
    May 8 2025

    Spring has sprung and episode 40 of the LITC podcast arrives! Today, famous palaeontologist, artist and all-around international fabulous guy Mark Witton returns to the show as he geeks out with our own Marc Vincent about Tyrannosaurus rex! Mark's upcoming new book, King Tyrant, is all about the toothy star from Hell Creek. For Vintage Dinosaur Art, Marc, Gemma and Natee go back to 1950's Denmark and discuss a rare treat from illustrator Verner Hancke, or rather from Gemma's attic. Will Gemma and Natee finally accept the superiority of T. rex over all other dinosaurs? Will Marc finally learn to pronounce "pterosaur" correctly? Are hadrosaurs secretly evil? Is Megatherium going to eat those passengers, or does it just want to play? And how does Gemma really feel about AI? All shall be revealed... in episode 40!
