Join hosts Dr. Justin Gregg and Laura Teasdale as they talk with scientists and experts about everyone’s favorite marine mammal: the dolphin. With a sprinkling of comedy to season the science, The Dolphin Pod is an enlightening and entertaining deep dive into the world of dolphin science. The Dolphin Pod is family-friendly, teen-approved podcast fun! After a 10 year hiatus (so Justin could be a stay-at-home dad), The Dolphin Pod returned with new episodes in 2019.

Learn why the most famous dolphin squeak of all is actually a fraud. This episode looks at one of the most recognizable and famous dolphins sound of all time, and gives an in depth explanation as to why it may not really be a very good example of a dolphin sound at all.
You may recognize this sound - it is the ever-popular and greatly over-used dolphin squeak sound that is played whenever a dolphin makes an onscreen appearance for TV or in the movies. But, there is something fundamentally wrong with this sound.

This is the very first episode of our innovative science podcast dedicated exclusively to all things dolphin. The Dolphin Pod will bring you up-to-date and scientifically accurate information on dolphin behavior, cognition, communication, anatomy; you name it, and we'll talk about it. We will also, on occasion, cover dolphin events in the news, summarize and explain the results from recent studies on dolphins and interview scientists currently working on dolphin-related research projects.
