Episode 27 - The Tour

Welcome to the Juras-Sick Park-Cast podcast, the Jurassic Park podcast about Michael Crichton's 1990 novel Jurassic Park, and also not about that, too. 

Find the episode webpage at: Episode 27 - The Tour

In this episode, my terrific guest and palaeoartist Douglas Henderson joins to chat with me about:

The Cretaceous rock formations of Montana, landscape painting, artists chronicling their world, starting out in Montana, capturing landscapes in art, adapting paleontology into art, Yellowstone, drawing dinosaurs, not drawing grass, meeting and working with Dr. Jack Horner, maiasaura, Robert Bakker, Greg Paul, Time Machine2: Search for Dinosaurs, Dr. Alan Grant, Victory at Sea, taking creative license, Prehistoric Beasts, illustrations, Phil Tippett, working for Hollywood, that mural in Jurassic Park, The Stephen and Sylvia Czerkas exhibit in Hollywood that inspired Crichton?, Snakewater, Choteau, pronouncing Choteau, and more!

 

Plus dinosaur news about:

• A new Cretaceous thyreophoran from Patagonia supports a South American lineage of armoured dinosaurs
• Ecomorphospace occupation of large herbivorous dinosaurs from Late Jurassic through to Late Cretaceous time in North America

Intro: Centipede.  Outro: Supergroovy.

The Text:

This week’s text is The Tour, spanning from pages 134 - 137. 

Synopsis:

Amidst arguments and drama between Malcolm and Gennaro, the tour begins as the consultants and kids climb into the automated Toyota Land Cruisers and begin their park tour. They visit the Hypsilophodon Highlands, seeing the hypsilophodons and othnielia in their paddock. 

Discussions surround:

Marketing, Japan, People of Visible Minorities, Automation, Feminism, Child of the 80s, The Tour, Dinosaurs, Timeline, and the Island Layout.

Corrections:

Apparently I've been pronouncing Choteau like some francophone, when it's almost pronounced like "Shadow." I stand corrected.

Side effects: 

May cause you to bring preconceptions of humidity to a piece of artwork, unprovoked!
