Episode 7: Cam and McLoughlin (Featuring Cameron Clow)

Natee, Marc and Niels tackle one of the most often ridiculed works in palaeoart history: the famously idiosyncratic Archosauria by John McLoughlin. Of course, we need to talk about that Triceratops… but there is so much more to this book! Natee interviews palaeoartist Cameron Clow, and things quickly devolve into a horse girl geekout. Shoutouts abound! Podcast Show Notes are at chasmosaurs.com

All about, and starring, one of the greatest living palaeoartists: Luis V. Rey! First, the LITC team discuss some of his most stunning and significant artwork, before the master himself speaks.

Episode 5: Burton and Bex (Featuring Rebecca Groom)

April 2021. Natee, Marc and Niels get off the beaten path and discuss some unconventional palaeoart. First we take a deep dive into the ingenious combination of photography and illustration pioneered by Jane Burton, then Rebecca Groom talks about dinosaur soft toys and the joys of her 3D pinter. We resist the urge to make an all-tyrannosaur episode with some new sauropods and hadrosaurs. Also, Marc learns a new word. Podcast Show Notes are at chasmosaurs.com

Natee, Marc and Niels discuss the final nail in the coffin of Nanotyrannus, the surprising truth behind Rudolph Zallinger's famous mural, some Triassic weirdos and whether the best Tyrannosaurus might be a dead Tyrannosaurus.

Episode 3: Spinosaurus Special (Featuring David Hone)

February 2021. Spinosaurus is in the news again! The LITC team discuss their favourite depictions of the big theropod and why no one can ever quite agree on how it's supposed to look. Then, we interview Dr. David Hone, one of the authors of the most recent Spinosaurus paper, that argues that the big lug probably was more of a heron than a crocodile. And no one ever argued about Spinosaurus again.
