Summary

Boy howdy... Squid games. We know we weren't the only ones watching Squid Game and thinking, "Do squid play games?" Hence we combined the study of squids (teuthology) and games (ludology) to make Teuthological Ludology with everyone's favorite squid expert: Dr. Sarah McAnulty from the 2018 Teuthology episode. We reunited on mic to discuss things like shapeshifting, flirtatious trickery, living fishing lure, siphon squirts, weird things found in shark stomachs, and cephalopods who are downright dicks to fish. All wrapped up in the most shameless pun ever. TEXT "SQUIDS!"

Hello, it's me.

0:06.7

I'm bringing you a very offbeat episode of Oligis.

0:10.1

I simply wanted to do so we did it.

0:12.4

So like a lot of us, I spent some of October

0:30.7

And so now that it's officially November,
