Smologies #11: SNAILS & SLUGS with Dr. Jann Vendetti

ANNOUNCEMENT: SMOLOGIES NOW HAS ITS OWN FEED! SUBSCRIBE  FOR NEW EPISODES EVERY THURSDAY.

The SMOL version of an ep about smol precious creatures, we're talkin' slimy little angels with bellies for feet... literally! That's what gastropod means! We've got Dr. Jann Vendetti of the Natural History Museum of LA County to talk with Alie about snail-based beauty products, escargot, urban snails, thousands and thousands of teeth, and whether or not you should adopt a rabbit-sized pet snail.

Listen to this Smologies episode on Stitcher, Apple, Podbay, Podcast Addict, Overcast, or wherever you get podcasts. (I recommend that listeners concerned about Spotify’s handling of misinformation switch listening platforms.)
