On this week’s episode of The Amoeba People Radio Hour, you need not go any farther than your own backyard. We talk to Cam Muskelley who tells us all about how he hunts for fossils in and around his hometown of Atlanta, Georgia.
In our Audio Cartoon segment, The Amoeba People travel back in time to visit the patron saint of backyard fossil hunting: Mary Anning!
And as always, we put together a playlist of songs, this time about backyards, hometowns, homesickness and the like.
So get ready to . . . stay home and enjoy this week’s episode: Home is Where the Science Is! Onward!!!
