About this listen

We're living through a golden age of paleontological research that, in the last couple of decades, has radically changed our understanding of dinosaurs. Through candid interviews with the world's top paleontologists, Professor Ben Garrod reveals new dinosaur facts from cutting edge research into the greatest animals ever to walk the planet.

When we're young, we all have a favourite dinosaur but, as time passes, other aspects of life get in the way. This is ultimate guide for grown-ups who have lost touch with their favourite childhood dinosaurs.

From the earliest cat-sized dinosaurs to enormous, feathered dinosaurs, there have been many significant discoveries in only the last 30 years. Every day we are learning more about the way the dinosaurs behaved and ultimately what happened to them at the very end.

    Jul 10 2019

    With such huge diversity in both form and habits, what is it that makes a dinosaur distinct from a crocodile or a lizard?

    Ben explores the stores in London’s Natural History Museum to meet the earliest known dinosaur and learns of the cataclysmic events that came about at the dawn of this incredible group of animals.

    Ep. 2: Size Matters
    Jul 10 2019

    After millions of years as the underdog amongst much bigger, meaner animals, the end-Triassic mass extinction event gave the dinosaurs their chance to flourish... and boy did they grow big!

    Ben meets some of the biggest animals to ever walk the earth, finds out how we know how big they got, and how and why they reached such huge sizes.

    Ep. 3: Feathered Freaks
    Jul 10 2019

    A discovery in China in the mid-nineties changed how we picture dinosaurs forever. It was the first fossil of a feathered dinosaur ever found and it finally proved unequivocally that birds are the direct decedents of dinosaurs.

    Ben hears about an amazing discovery that sheds light on when, and why, feathers first evolved and what fossilised feathers can tell us about the colour of dinosaurs.
