FULL EPISODE: Peek Into An Ancient Wolves' Stomach - January 14, 2026

For science news, professor Jesse Rogerson covers: An ancient wolf cub's last meal just rewrote the woolly rhino extinction story; Chimps reveal why teenagers are notorious for risky behaviors; and Record-breaking asteroid spins so fast it should tear itself apart. Jesse and David field a listener question about black holes that extends deep into the 'noodle-verse'. (Got a science question for The Last Show? Leave a voicemail at ⁠1-888-505-6644⁠.) History of science professor Marga Vicedo discusses the (mostly) positive impact of Mattel's new Autistic Barbie. For Therapy Thursdays on a Wednesday, therapist and social worker Gary Direnfeld goes over the birthday blues and how to manage travel stress. Toronto-based comedian Natalie Norman gives a visual demonstration of red lipstick theory (it's hard to see on a podcast),and weighs in on one couple's bathroom-based 'Am I the A-hole?' dilemma. Physics and astronomy professor ⁠Daniel Oblak⁠ explains how ⁠we emit a visible light that vanishes when we die⁠. David has both Niagara Falls, Ontario mayor ⁠Jim Diodati⁠ and travel writer ⁠Emily Pogue⁠ on the show. David tries (and fails) to generate controversy, asking Emily to apologize directly to Jim for having ⁠written that her favorite side of Niagara Falls is the US one⁠.
