Science related podcast?

[Matt W]

I really like Tom Moran's podcast for husbandry advice, but is there any regular tarantula podcast that focuses on tarantula science: biology, biogeography, species ecology, taxonomy, evolution, the history of tarantula discovery, etc?

Dave’s Little Beasties YouTube channel is good

Not a podcast, but you can buy tarantula documentaries at Love Tarantulas (£2 each for digital downloads), and they are full of the history of the tarantulas being found and described and show a lot of in-situ footage.

Couple good Youtube pages about tarantulas in the wild as well:
BirdSpiders.CH
World of Spiders

Awesome, thanks! These look great!

I love Dave's channel, but he's more husbandry oriented. Really good videos, but I'm looking to supplement that stuff with natural history.

Not that I’m aware of. Scientists are too busy

 

[SpookySpooder]

Somebody should start a podcast and curate the latest and greatest papers published by entomologists and host little chats with experienced breeders and hobbyists

I'd listen to it while sitting in traffic or feeding the T's

Not going to find any podcast by arachnologist.

Tom Moran is about the best podcast you will find. He has had arachnologist as guest on some of his podcast in the past.

If you really want to see some great videos of T's in their natural habitat Guy Tansley is real good. The only problem I have with him is he is insistent on handling every damn tarantula he is filming.

You can find his page from this video
