“If Finding Nemo was real, after Nemo's mum had been eaten by barracuda, his dad would have flipped gender and had sex with his son, which doesn't sound like a massive Disney hit!” Welcome to the second episode in this special TOPIA podcast series. 

TOPIA is a kaleidoscopic new culture, nature and positive impact magazine where anything goes – as long as it’s good. To tie in with Season 02 being themed (loosely) on ‘The Egg’, this podcast sees The Futurenauts in conversation with the British zoologist behind the gloriously original book, Bitch: A Revolutionary Guide to Sex, Evolution and the Female Animal. Do we need sex at all? Which animals are doing it for themselves? Which species hasn’t had sex for 80 million years? This covers everything you want to know about sexual cannibalism, gender fluidity and Darwin's obsession with the barnacle penis. Imagine a sort of X-rated Mr. Tickle.
