What is toxoplasmosis? Who is the ‘Tyrant Leech King?” How much memory in an isopod? Does Hercules fight with his thighs? Are MacDonaldland characters endorsing a life of crime? How many Philistine foreskins did Saul want David to collect in exchange for his daughter’s hand? Will Lovely Lara’s listener mail be cut? These questions and many more from our listeners – PLUS secrets of the velvet belly lantern shark – in our first “callbacks and follow-ups” episode!

I am going to start my own podcast. I’m going to call it Caustic Coda! It will be adding on stuff you missed to the end of the show!
Looking forward to the Official Medical Explanation (TM) for the poison thing – that bit from Indiana Jones has been stuck in my head for years. More important? Kudos to Joe for pronouncing my famiily name correctly.
From here on I shall yell, “BANKS!!!” if I have to blame someone for pointing out my lack of thoroughness.
I will need a sidekick on my new podcast ‘Caustic Coda’. Sounds like I found that person!
FORESKINS
Foreskins obtained from circumcision procedures are frequently used by biochemical and micro-anatomical researchers to study the structure and proteins of human skin. In particular, foreskins obtained from newborns have been found to be useful in the manufacturing of more human skin
I already knew this but i used wiki to confirm it.
My first thought was to sell the foreskins but apparently that requires consent and you can only donate them, but its still big business…
I was thinking about my areas of expertise to try and worm in to a co-hosting role on Caustic Soda when it struck me…
I’m an expert at follow-ups!
So I propose Mondragon and I co-host the next follow-ups episodes!
Yes, although I’ll probably have to do way more research than usual to keep up…..BANKS! See I’m already to co-host.
