PalaeoParty! is a biweekly interactive podcast about palaeontology.

In today's episode we chat (and laugh a lot) with Dr Alessandro Chiarenza, a Postdoctoral researcher at UCL, UK. Alessandro introduces the dinosaurs and teaches Thomas why they are important and amazing animals in their own right. We also talk about the moments just before and after the asteroid impact 66 million years ago and why mammals survive. We also learn that Alessandro's least favourite dinosaur is the humble duck.  Alessandro can be found on twitter @AAlechiarenza.

Each week we invite a new palaeontologist guest to join our hosts, Dr Emma Dunne, Dr Chris Dean and Dr Thomas Clements, as we laugh about weird fossils, odd science and whatever else pops into their brains! PalaeoParty! is unlike other podcasts because we live stream each episode on Twitch so you can chat and ask our guests questions in real time!
