New Species

10

Just a fraction of the species on our planet are known to science, but more are described and published every day. This podcast talks to the authors of these new species to get the behind-the-scenes stories of how new species are found and named, as well as why these discoveries should matter to everyone, not just scientists. Join us on our journey to better understand the wonderful biodiversity of our planet!Be sure to follow New Species on Twitter (@PodcastSpecies), and support the podcast at https://www.patreon.com/NewSpeciesPod

    Please invest in some better mics and make the show less scripted
    As a taxonomist and phylogeneticist, I want to love this show. But after so many episodes I would’ve thought that the hosts would’ve invested in some better recording equipment. The hosts always have a weird echo, and the guests (probably recording from just a zoom recording with their internal computer mic) sound so muffled it’s almost impossible to understand them. It’s so bad sometimes I end up shutting off the episode because I can’t understand a single thing that’s being said. Not only that, but while some of the conversations are conversational, others feel like I’m listening to a rehearsed research talk at lunch seminar … which …is dry and often boring. If you want this podcast to grow and to be listened to by a wider audience, I think you really need to: 1. Get better equipment, 2. learn to edit better (there are plenty of podcast editing/sound design classes on linked in and YouTube), and, 3. maybe take notes from other popular science podcasts. 4. loosen up. Stop reading from a script.

    A must podcast for the biologist in all of us
    This podcast has a wonderful flow and approach to species delineation. The host is well versed and knows how to keep the listener engaged. Natures role in our everyday life is extremely important, and this podcast focuses on why finding new species in the wild has vast implications for us all.
