Blair is "the Zoologist" and sitting animal expert who co-hosts the weekly science news podcast, This Week in Science. Her husband Brian is a nursing student and avid gamer of all types (video, board, card, role-playing, etc), and their friend Jesse is a podcast host, writer, and "your favorite teacher's favorite teacher" who is also a games enthusiast. Together, we will explore the worlds of Pokemon, Zelda, Horizon, Dune, Lord of the Rings, Dungeons and Dragons, and whatever else we fancy to discuss the real world inspiration for the fantastical creatures you can find in your favorite fiction.
