Love in the Time of Chasmosaurs

All about, and starring, one of the greatest living palaeoartists: Luis V. Rey! First, the LITC team discuss some of his most stunning and significant artwork, before the master himself speaks. Why was Luis blacklisted in the nineties? How colourful can we make a whale? And which artist inspired Luis to take up palaeoart? Luis tells all. Podcast Show Notes are at chasmosaurs.com

April 2021. Natee, Marc and Niels get off the beaten path and discuss some unconventional palaeoart. First we take a deep dive into the ingenious combination of photography and illustration pioneered by Jane Burton, then Rebecca Groom talks about dinosaur soft toys and the joys of her 3D pinter. We resist the urge to make an all-tyrannosaur episode with some new sauropods and hadrosaurs. Also, Marc learns a new word. Podcast Show Notes are at chasmosaurs.com

Natee, Marc and Niels discuss the final nail in the coffin of Nanotyrannus, the surprising truth behind Rudolph Zallinger's famous mural, some Triassic weirdos and whether the best Tyrannosaurus might be a dead Tyrannosaurus. Palaeoartist Chris DiPiazza remembers that time someone else painted a perfect copy of his work on location. Podcast Show Notes are at chasmosaurs.com

February 2021. Spinosaurus is in the news again! The LITC team discuss their favourite depictions of the big theropod and why no one can ever quite agree on how it's supposed to look. Then, we interview Dr. David Hone, one of the authors of the most recent Spinosaurus paper, that argues that the big lug probably was more of a heron than a crocodile. And no one ever argued about Spinosaurus again.

January 2021. The LITC crew discusses dinosaur butts! Also Crystal Palace and Mary Anning, and a lot of paleoart by John Sibbick that you've probably seen (even if you don't know it). Would Greg Paul approve? Featuring Natalia Jagielska. Podcast Show Notes are at chasmosaurs.com

December 2020. The LITC team discusses controversial compsognathids, dinky dwarf sauropods, a very THICC T. rex and Spinosaurus, again (even though it's the first episode). And where do all those damn bats come from? Featuring Joschua Knüppe. Podcast Show Notes are at chasmosaurs.com
