• 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 39: WHEN DINOSAURS RULED THE EARTH!!! (Featuring T. K. Sivgin)
    Apr 4 2025

    Just in time to make sure it's not an April Fools joke comes episode 39 of the world-famous Chasmosaurs podcast! It's time once again to talk about that Grand Signeur of palaeoart, his Lordship John Sibbick, King of the Isle of Wight (maybe). This time, we're looking at the lesser-known followup to the classic Normanpedia, the grandly-titled WHEN DINOSAURS RULED THE EARTH!!! After that, Marc has a chat with Swiss author and historian T.K. Sivgin, who has been known to occasionally contribute to this here humble website. His charming book, The Saurus Family and the Little Trilobite, is available now. Is John Sibbick the greatest of the living palaeoartists? How has that new museum in Zürich been coming along? How angry can one dumb theropod get at a scelidosaur? How much reverb can Gemma add to one episode? And will Natee uncover their secret baritone? You won't wanna miss this one!

  • Episode 38 - Thomas' Terrible Hand and the Triceratops Herd (Featuring Yasmin Grooters)
    Feb 26 2025

    After months of technical mishaps, we finally managed to get the podcast back up and running! Marc, Gemma and Natee start off by having a little moan about terrible dinosaur movies before moving into a fun German book Gemma found at a school! We got some typical late 80s fare, with some very unusual depictions of dinosaurs... Then, Gemma and Marc interview Yasmin Grooters, head of the dinosaur lab at Naturalis Leiden, who recently finished work on a whole herd of Triceratops! Will Natee narrate the next Walking With Dinosaurs special? How is a Quetzalcoatlus like a pair of embroidery scissors? How do you put a museum exhibition together? How many cute nicknames can you give to a giant dinosaur? When are the Hadrosaur Gang going to drop their ballin' hip hop album? And what in the name of all that is holy is wrong with that Deinocheirus? We're back!

  • Episode 37: Farewell TetZooCon
    Oct 30 2024

    As every year, Marc, Natee and Gemma visited TetZooCon, Darren Naish’ big annual London event about animals, palaeontology, palaeoart and all things tetrapod. And this was a special edition indeed. Not only has this been the last ever edition of the Tetrapod Zoology Conference in its current form (more on which on the show) but we actually gave a talk this time! And what’s more, the talk has been recorded and is included in full on this very special, extra long episode. So indulge yourself, park somewhere if you’re in your car, and enjoy our very final thoughts on a wonderful, bittersweet edition of our favourite event, followed by our live celebration of Fifteen Years of Love in the time of Chasmosaurs: An Ode To Bad Palaeoart.

  • Episode 36: Sean's Horn and Tudor's Tails (Featuring Sean Rubin)
    Aug 31 2024

    Rise and shine, the LITC podcast is here again! We have some colourful and pretty gnarly palaeoart to show you from the spectacularly-named Tudor Humphries. For the interview, Marc and Natee discuss the lovely - and somewhat controversial - book The Iguanodon's Horn, with its author and illustrator, the award-winning Sean Rubin. Is making fun of outdated palaeoart tropes fair game? Will we keep comparing dinosaurs to fish? Why is there a tiger in Africa? Will Natee finally admit that T. R. is their favourite dinosaur? Are we big in Japan, like Godzilla? And will we ever, ever, ever, shut up about TetZooCon? Find out none of this and less in episode 36!

    Jun 30 2024

    We've had a month off, but the famous LITC podcast is back in full strength with more fresh news, nostalgic art reviews and exciting interviews! After discussing the new films and documentaries that are coming our way, we review some very English palaeoart from the late 1970s by the unsung Peter Snowball. After that, Natee and Marc interview the Golden Boys of Dromaeosaurs, 3D sculptor Ruadhrí Brennan and returning LITC interviewee Jed Taylor, whose incredible Velociraptor sculpts have set last year's TetZooCon on fire, and are poised to do the same this year. What new shenanigans are these two up to next? Who illustrated the first Pachyrhinosaurus? Do we actually have listeners in Japan? Which Disney villain does Natee resemble most? Will we turn into a gaming podcast? Find all of this out in episode 35!
