Science EN ↓ 1 episodes

Mountain Misfits is a weekly, boots-on-the-ground podcast for people who can’t help but stare too long at a wildflower, a wing, a track in the mud, or a galaxy overhead. We bring the science of the natural world down to earth—field stories, species spotlights, ecology that actually makes sense, and the occasional necessary rant when wild places get treated like disposable background scenery.
