Description
A lost episode, a look back at 113 specimens, and more gold envelopes than ever before.
Join us for another episode of The 'Perfect' Specimen, this week Josh and Natalie are taking a look back at some of their favourite moments on the podcast, including our very own lost episode.
Does the perfect museum specimen exist? What’s the squishiest? The most exuberant? Or even the most noxious?
Each episode, our hosts take their pick from 80 million specimens at the Natural History Museum to find the 'perfect' specimen. Their only prompt? A single word.
