Spectacular Specimens

By

A podcast for curious kids (and adults) about a collection of spectacular specimens and the stories they can tell us about life on Earth.

Join Brandi and Paige as they open drawers, cabinets, and freezers full of specimens (a.k.a: dead animals used for research) at the Burke Museum of Natural History and Culture. In each episode, we'll unlock exciting discoveries about one of our planet’s most remarkable creatures and learn how they can help us solve the mysteries of our living world.

Spectacular Specimens is a production of KUOW, part of the NPR Network, in collaboration with the Burke Museum of Natural History and Culture.
