Episode description

Frogs have been vanishing in large numbers along the east coast of Australia since June, and we're not entirely sure why. They've been turning up sick and dying, with some populations disappearing within a week or two. We spoke with Dr. Jody Rowley, the amphibian and reptile curator at the Australian Museum to find out what's happening. Today’s interview is hosted by Cosmos journalist Lauren Fuge.
