Life on Venus?—S2 Bonus Interview

About this episode

The episode features an interview with scientist Clara Sousa-Silva discussing potential evidence for life on Venus and its implications.

Wild Thing is re-releasing its bonus interviews! In September 2020, just days before this podcast launched, scientists announced that they might have found evidence for life on Venus... or at least in Venus's atmosphere. We talk to Clara Sousa-Silva—one of the scientists involved—about their findings, what life on Venus might be like, and what the next steps might be.
