About this episode

The episode explores listener assumptions while highlighting incredible reptile species from West Africa.

Lyssa gives us the details on her new nails, and then we put ourselves in the hot seat by reacting to assumptions our listeners have about us. Which ones are surprisingly accurate? Which ones couldn't be further from the truth? You'll have to listen to find out. We also take a trip to West Africa to explore some of the incredible reptile species found in the region. From colorful lizards to fascinating snakes, we highlight a few standout species—including a cobra that can spit venom with impressive accuracy.
