| 0:43.2 | And today in our 300th episode, we're doing Spinosaurus Revisited. |
| 0:49.5 | So we're going to go really in depth into Spinosaurus, including an interview with Nizar Ibrahim, the guy who |
| 0:56.8 | brought back Spinosaurus in a major way with some excellent new discoveries and all sorts of |
| 1:02.7 | good work. So we have a lot to talk about with him, obviously. And in the news, unfortunately, |
