The Lemmings Episode

In this premiere episode of the podcast, we'll explore how the population boom-and-bust cycle of the Norway lemming led to a widely held belief that the animals commit mass suicide rather than starve. It's also a wide-ranging motif in pop culture, largely in the form of saying that if someone blindly follows the herd without considering any consequences, they're a "lemming."
