Episode Details

So we're in thick of it.  Right in the fluffy middle.

Jack, Lynne and Matt McFarland get real STRANGE on this week's episode of The Growing Season.  Winter, in all its glory, becomes the latest focus of Strange But True. 

Penguins kick off the show.  Their breeding habits and marital preferences.   Their ability to withstand absolutely frigid temperatures and a freakish talent to hold their breath. 

A group of penguins is called a "Waddle."  Cool, eh?  Penguin clouds...from you know where...  LOTS OF CLOUDS!

Why has "Global Warming" been re-labelled "Climate Change?"

There are lots of Penguins in Gotham City.   Matt takes great delight in talking about Batman. 

Wood frogs and Walt Disney!?   Yup.  They correlate.  Reanimating catfish brings Disney and Wood Frogs to an interesting conclusion. 

The lowest reported core temperature in a human will surprise you. 

Scary avalanche stories are highlighted.  There is some real nightmare fuel here. 

Alive, the film from 1993, becomes a discussion point.  "The Donner Party" from 1846-1847 is a story you probably haven't heard but won't soon forget.  

What is the Iditarod? Its 1600km's of sheer canine will. 

Bee's can "hold it" for absolutely insane lengths of time.  Where do they go to the bathroom in the winter?   Its kinda cool. 

Cryoseisms and their role in recent history kicks off a Christmas Eve story. 

A snow roller is not what you would think. 

What is an "Ice Fern?"

Tune in.
