Palaeo Jam

Palaeo Jam is a podcast exploring a range of issues in science and the community, using the multidisciplinary aspects of, and public fascination with, palaeontology. This Australian-produced palaeo podcast was launched at a publicly accessible live event at Flinders University, where the first two episodes were recorded in front of a live audience. Palaeo Jam uses fossils and other objects from palaeontology to explore a range of scientific and social issues, and incorporate key research and discoveries into its content. Each episode has a theme and it’s covered within a strict, 30-minute timeframe. Adding to the theatre of the recording, a timer is visible to the audience in live records. Each episode has a panel of up to three guests, and is hosted by Michael Mills, award-winning science communicator.
