In this weeks episode of the Animal Nerd Podcast, we're delving deep into history to try and track down the origin of the phrase "when pigs fly" / "pigs might fly". It's actually been around for a lot longer than you might expect, and has a surprisingly interesting history - in my slightly biased opinion, of course! So sit back and relax while I relay to you almost five hundred years of flying-pig-based history!

Original air date: 20th September 2024

Important note: Unfortunately I wasn't able to import my show when I was switching hosting platforms, and as a result I'm having to re-upload my podcast from the start. Because of that, these early episodes are not indictive of the show's current quality - both in terms of the equipment used and my own skills as a writer & presenter - so apologies for that! Hopefully before too long I'll have caught up to my current output. In the meantime, you can check out my full back catalogue of episodes, and catch up with my newer content, over on my YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLp6MWEI1w5ZrPiEM7zZKmgvtqhmWWbpeB
