February 15, 2021 -- The Almost-All-Rodent Episode!
While no mentions of Doctor Dawson, there's a whole lot of rodents scurrying about this episode, including a Watson who once was called "Mouse." Even our Clark Russell moment has a Swedish seaman talking about shipboard rodents. The one thing you won't find mentioned, as we didn't know it was going to be a rodent themed episode, what that John B. Watson made the baby afraid of a white rat. What does that even mean? You'll have to listen and find out!

Somehow, one member of the team going on Christmas break sends the podcast spinning into . . . well, just a shorter podcast. Just eleven minutes and thirty-six seconds, at which point it's definitely over and you should turn off your app, close the web page, or whatever your method of listening is.
