Episode 9: A Giant Squid and an Even Bigger Titan of Biology

from Odd Things I've Seen: The Podcast · host J.W. Ocker

In this episode, I take you behind the scenes at the Natural History Museum in London to witness the most mindboggling biological artifacts in the entire collection: Archie the Giant Squid and actual specimens bottled by Charles Darwin himself on his world-changing HMS Beagle voyage. Oh, and I embark on a side quest for an infamous cursed jewel. Lotta stuff going on in this episode. Photos of Archie the Giant Squid and Darwin's specimens. The behind-the-scenes Spirit Collection tour page. Photos of my visit to the giant squid at the Smithsonian. Photos of my visit to Damien Hirst's bediamoned skull. Want to learn about the oddities I visit in real time? Follow me on Twitter, Facebook, or Patreon. I also write books that you can buy. Spooky books.
