Be More Specific

Can you...be more specific? An entomologist and a writer walk into a podcast, and come out with a question answered. Teagan (the entomologist) and Bekah (the film student/writer) are asking the important (and unimportant) questions. Why do we laugh? What's a meme? Why can't we get rid of all mosquitoes? And whatever else tickles their fancy. New episodes every month!
