35 – Dinosaur Blood – Fossil Fuels


March 29, 2022

About the Episode

Have you ever wondered what a fossil fuel actually is? Or where it came from? Or why it’s even called that?

This week, Sierra barely stays on the train as Colin explains what fossil fuels are. Join us as we talk about the eventual demise of humanity, Colin’s enjoyment of doing math for fun, and how blankets aren’t technically warm.
