This is The Single Acorn podcast, a podcast for those of us who love to ponder the world around us, who slowly walk through a forest with the question “Why?” as our constant companion, who are drawn to the tough, weird, gross, and fascinating questions about the natural world.
Each season will cover a topic within natural history (Season 1: Symbiosis, Season 2: Scat, Season 3: Urban Wildlife). So whether your curious about why some trees change sex or why parasitic castration is an effective strategy for some barnacles or why turkey vultures poop on their legs, then this is the podcast for you.
So then, teachers, students, gardeners, foresters, and naturalists, get out your field notebook and join us on a deep dive into the natural history and ecology of our wild neighbors.

In a world where science has predicted 8.7 million eukaryotic species currently roam, humans have catalogued a mere 1.6 million. That leaves nearly 7 million sneaky little croutons hiding in the shadows...
In the last year alone we’ve identified both the strange and the cuddly: an iridescent underground snake Achalinus zugorum; a parasitic, spider-eating wasp Actrotaphus, and the world’s tiniest and most criminally adorable raccoon, the olinguito. Seriously. You have to look it up. At least 14 new species have been named after a popular boy wizard and one lucky beetle was christened the Agra shwarzeneggeri for its super ripped middle femora.
Every day, scientists prepare themselves for the next big breakthrough, and today we invite you behind the curtain…
To the Single Acorn’s first ever NEW CREATURE FEATURE brought to you by your friendly neighborhood Dr. Christine Fleener [thunder/lightning] to investigate the most recent discovery from the jungles of Southeast Asia…This is The Single Acorn.
