In this conversational episode, Kaydra is joined by Steven Ray Morris (See Jurassic Right, Ologies, My Favorite Murder, Purrcast). Today we will be stepping back—way back—into a world that’s as mysterious as it is mind-blowing. For over 160 million years, enormous creatures roamed the Earth, living, thriving, and disappearing long before humans ever did. The story of these prehistoric giants is far more complex—and fascinating—than the fossils in a museum case might suggest. From towering predators to gentle giants, these creatures spark both scientific curiosity and wild imagination. So… How did they grow so massive? What colors flashed across their scales and feathers? And, of course, what truly brought their reign to an end? Buckle up, and be listening for any rumbling footsteps because today’s episode is all about dinosaurs!
