Show Notes

In the long-delayed Season 2 finale, we're traveling to the Bay Area to explore islands. In human history, the remoteness of islands has long been attractive to those interested in imprisoning others, as the dark pasts of Alactraz and Angel Island so effectively demonstrate. But the very fact that islands are cut off from the rest of the world means that evolution often follows unique paths on them, making them crucibles of biodiversity. From endemic moles to unwilling poets, we'll delve into the way islands shape and are shaped by the species that occupy them.
