Bio Babes ·

2025/10/31

It’s the spooktacular Halloween special but black cats and vampire bats are overused. We need a fresh new Halloween animal mascot! The Bio Babes got a big steaming cauldron of creepy critters here, and we’re throwing them at the wall to see what sticks — we got spooky animals of all kinds, some deep sea friends, some slimy guys, some… some little frogs… a couple big ol lizards, a live bird, a dead bird, and whats that? Oh god.. what IS that thing? Libby did you put an Aye-aye in the cauldron? Fuck

I’m drunk, you’re drunk, we’re all dunk. And we have alcohol to thank. In this episode, we sip and chat with Noah, a home brewer and Libbys body double, to learn about making mead. We also plan a trip to get blackout on malort in Chicago, we stumble through a chaotic exploration of the history of alcohol, we play alcohol geo-guesser, and we debate the question — would you drink Dylan Sprouse’s mead? Pour yourself a glass of whatever fermented starch you prefer but, no matter what you drink, this

2025/07/18

So, Australia… wtf is going on down there? well, their toilets flush backwards I think, so that’s one thing. I’m pretty sure that their royal family is the Irwins? And I’m still foggy on whether or not drop bears are a real thing. There’s a lot of things about Australia, that me and Libby don’t know, like, for example; what happened to those ancient Aboriginal Australians that caused a cultural flip? why did the camel population explode during the Bush administration? How do platypus live with

Caves part 2! We’re still in the deep dark depths of this cave somewhere in southern France. All the cave fish have been eaten and the batteries in the headlamps are going out. I’m going to be honest bio babe, things aren’t looking good. Oh! Put down that cave bear skull and look at these paintings on the wall! That’s beautiful, there’s rhinoceros, and lions, and bison… what the hell?! Those don’t live here …. at least, not anymore… oh. Oh dear. Guys, I think we may have found a bunch of Paleolithic

Bio Babes ·

You ever think to yourself, “damn, I wish I was alive back when the mammoths were dancing around in their giant clogging shoes.”? Of course you do. Trust me, we all do. Well, you missed it, and so did I, but instead of cursing the linear progression of time and spiraling into a pit of despair, we can instead use paleoecology to paint a picture (both literally and, like, descriptively) of what it must have been like to see them big ol’ clompin’ stompers back in the day. In this episode, we’re joined

Bio Babes ·

2024/09/20

Do you have questions? Good! Cause we’ve got answers! Not, like, answers to *your* questions specifically, we just have answers to Mr. Lovell’s questions. Nobody else is getting their questions answered. Just Mr. Lovell. Like, I guess if you happen to have an overlapping question with Mr. Lovell then you will get your question answered but we’re technically only answering questions that Mr. Lovell asked us. So like, we’d answer your question maybe if you sent us one in the mail maybe? But then we’d

It’s finally happening, it’s the gay animal special! To celebrate pride month, Libby is taking us all on a tour through the colorful world of queer animals. Want to learn about lesbian albatross power couples? Gay dolphins? Polyamorous ducks? Trans deer? Bonobos and their free love hippie lifestyle? This episode is so cute we even cry a little.

This episode journeys to the Galápagos islands where we investigate everyone’s favorite sterile, PTSD-ridden conservation leftovers. The islands are known for their iconic wildlife, but those dumb finches get plenty of attention, we wanna talk about the goats! And the absolutely insane honeypot style scheme to eradicate them.

Hey everybody pees! You, me, astronauts, even lobsters pee. Sometimes pee smells like asparagus, or buttered popcorn. Sometimes it’s clear, or yellow, sometimes the medication you’re taking turns it blue. No matter what, you got to get rid of all that gross urea, but if you happen to be an orphaned baby animal, or like.. in space, peeing is gonna be kind of a big ask. Find out how they do it, and how many rats it takes to pee as much as a human.We also go on wild tangent about possums. And lobster

It’s season 2 baby! And to kick things off we’re going to ask and answer all the hearing-related questions you’ve never wanted to know the answers to. What has better hearing a frog or a parakeet? How does bat echolocation even work? If a tree falls in the forest, and nobody is around to hear it, does it listen to Indian kirwani music? Can my chicken hear me sing to her? Are ghosts real? As usual, things go off the rails, and you’ll have to suffer through several minutes of ASMR to find out the

Is all of our hard hitting science weighing you down? Too many facts can be exhausting, so for this episode we made sure that there aren’t any. That’s right, today Bio Babes invites two bird experts to talk about… cryptids. I mean obviously, what else would we talk to bird experts about. Luke and Taylor are self described cryptozoologists and cocktail artists -- with their help, we're going to explore the less tangible side of the animal kingdom.
