Terrestrials 01. The Mastermind: An Octopus Heist

Sy Montgomery, an author and naturalist, shares the story of a color-changing creature many people assumed to be brainless who outsmarts his human captors. If you want a SPOILER of what the creature is, read on: It’s an octopus. We hear the story of one particularly devious octopus who lost a limb, was captured by humans, and then managed to make an escape from its aquarium tank—back into the ocean! The tale of “Inky” the octopus calls into question who we think of as intelligent (and kissable) in the animal kingdom.

Terrestrials 03. The Trio: A Bald Eagle Love Story

High above the banks of the Mississippi river, a nest holds the secret life of one of America’s most patriotic creatures. Their story puzzles scientists, reinforces indigenous wisdom, and wows audiences, all thanks to a park ranger named Ed, and a well-placed webcam. If you want to spoil the mystery, here ya go: it’s a bald eagle. Actually, it’s three bald eagles. A mama bird and daddies make a home together for over a decade and give new meaning to our national symbol.

Terrestrials 04. The Unimaginable: How Gravitational Waves (Literally) Rocked Our World

Over a billion lightyears ago, in the darkness of outer space, a collision of black holes sent out a fleet of invisible waves that were headed right toward planet Earth. The waves were so powerful they could ripple spacetime but most people on Earth didn't believe the waves were real. SPOILER ALERT: The waves are called gravitational waves and…they are real! Astrophysicist Dr. Wanda Díaz Merced tells the story of what happened when they hit Earth in 2015 and how scientists came to learn to use senses beyond eyesight to detect the waves. We also learn from Dr. Stavros Katsanevas about the building of a giant gravitational wave catcher called “The Interferometer.” This episode also explores how to persist in the face of doubt as we learn Wanda's tale of going blind and learning how to listen to the stars.

Terrestrials 05. The Water Walker: One Surfer’s Epic Escape

Disclaimer: This episode deals with the loss of a loved one and grief.


The ocean can be a scary place: the waves are so strong, the water so deep. But surfer and illustrator AJ Dungo tells the story of an earthling who figured out how to walk on water and literally defy the rules of gravity. If you want a big SPOILER, here it is: It’s only human for the season, the grandfather of modern-day surfing, Duke Kahanamoku. Duke’s great grandniece, Heather Kina’u Paoa tells us about what Duke’s life was really like. We learn about the physics of surfing, and how surfing is an escape, not just on a spiritual level, but a physical one too. Finally, we learn how Duke’s story of learning to conquer the waves while remaining true to his Hawaiian heritage inspired AJ to get through one of the hardest times of his life.

Terrestrials 06. The Hybrid: A Miracle Mule

In the game of life, every species is like an action figure. You got your dogs and your dung beetles, your bald eagles and your blueberries. And for a long time scientists believed it was pretty much impossible for those action figures to mix and make a new kind of action figure that was able to have its own babies (dog beetles? Baldberries? Nah). But, today we tell the story of a four-legged beast in Kentucky whose existence is upending scientific beliefs. If you want a big fat SPOILER, here it is: the creature in question is a mule! After almost 20 years of living her life as a hybrid (a mix between a horse and a donkey), believed to be incapable of having babies, Peanut the mule shocked the world by doing the impossible. Peanut’s owners, Teresa and Jerry Smothers, tell us the story of her life. Evolutionary biologist Dr. Molly Schumer explains how scientists’ understanding of hybrids has changed dramatically over the course of Peanut’s lifetime. And no mule episode would be complete without a cowboy-hatted mule packer leading us deep into the rocky trails of the American West on muleback to explain why mules are the best of both worlds of their parents.

Terrestrials 07. The Stumpisode: The Wild World of Tree Stumps!

As dead as they seem, tree stumps are hubs of life and relationships. From stumps to snags, deadwood provides habitat for rodents, falcons, insects, and even humans! Stumps hold together the forest floor, give hunting perches to birds of prey in flatlands, prevent erosion and the encroachment of invasive species, usher in sunlight, provide nutrients, can be wells of renewable fuel, and hold onto stories human beings might have forgotten. Without these ghosts of trees past, nothing would be the same. Scottish author, artist and lover of tree stumps, Dr. Amanda Thomson, leads host Lulu Miller on a “tour de stumps,” a journey across space and time to learn about some of the most magical stumps on the planet. We learn how these overlooked dead things actually sustain the living.

Terrestrials 08. The Snowball: Extreme Squirrels in the Arctic

Middle schooler, Aanya, has an up-close encounter with a squirrel in the school yard, which leads her to an obsession with one of North America's most common critters. She tells host Lulu Miller all about the overlooked superpowers of squirrels, including one squirrel who lives way up in the Arctic, where the weather gets so cold the squirrels who live there drop their body temperatures down below freezing and somehow, miraculously, survive. Host Lulu travels to Alaska to meet one of these squirrels as it sleeps, and Lulu talks with biologists Dr. Kelly Drew and Dr. Brian Barnes about why this humble squirrel holds potential for treating Alzheimers, brain injury, and even helping astronauts hibernate on the long journey to Mars.

Terrestrials 09. The Crystal Ball: Giant Honeybees Who Predict the Future

The honeybee. The ever-important pollinator for our plants is disappearing. Some call it the silence of the bees, others call it colony collapse disorder. Dr. Sammy Ramsey, our official bug correspondent, wondered, could it be due to parasites? And if so, how do we catch all of them? This question takes Dr. Sammy to the heart of a jungle in Bangladesh to look for overlooked honeybees impervious to parasites. The only problem? He can't find them. With help from a local guide named Babulall, he learns how the most overlooked bees could possibly save all the honey bees in the world. Plus, they have some killer dance moves.

The Fish Doorbell!

The Fish Doorbell at the Weerdsluis in Utrecht, The Netherlands!


In the heart of the city lies the beautiful Weerdsluis, a manually operated lock. However, every spring, thousands of fish swim through Utrecht’s canals and waterways reaching the locked gates, and fish are forced to wait, wasting time, energy, and making them easy prey for predators. Fish are the most important residents of Utrecht’s waterways, vital to the rivers, canals, and waterways of Utrecht, supporting biodiversity and the livability of the city. So the residents of the city decided to give back and help! So they installed the Fish Doorbell, an underwater camera installed at the lock that livestreams the footage, so if and when a fish comes by and appears on screen, you (Yes, you!) can press the doorbell! This alerts the lock keeper, who will open the lock when many fish are waiting.


You can ring the Fish Doorbell from early March to late May, and people do so enthusiastically every year! In 2024, the Fish Doorbell attracted around 2.7 million viewers, from America to Brazil! The project has gained global recognition, helping people worldwide learn about fish migration and Utrecht’s underwater world. When fish are ready to leave the waterways, we (YES WE!) can help them on their journey! Thanks to the Fish Doorbell!


Thanks to the Fish Doorbell’s live stream, we can also see what’s happening underwater, revealing and learning more about fish species swimming through the city and the quality of underwater life. We can use this knowledge to improve the quality of underwater life, and by working together, we can create cleaner, healthier waters full of life!

The Freedom Train in Arkansas

In January 1948, Washington's annotated copy of the U.S. Constitution, Jefferson's marked-up draft of the Declaration of Independence, Lincoln’s signed Emancipation Proclamation, and many more priceless artifacts of American history passed through Arkansas for public viewing on the cross-country Freedom Train exhibit. The display of these documents in the Jim Crow South was not without its controversy. Dr. Kelly Houston Jones will outline the Freedom Train's activities and explore the public discussions generated by its historic journey through Arkansas. Dr. Kelly Houston Jones is associate professor of history and director of the history graduate program at Arkansas Tech University. Her first book, A Weary Land: Slavery on the Ground in Arkansas, won the John William Graves Award from the Arkansas Historical Association.
