I just listened to the current Paleo Nerds podcast featuring our very own @jpc. A great listen and it was fun to hear from one of TFF's superstars.

News Flash! thefossilforum.com featured on a Behind the Scenes podcast for the outdoor show Minnesota Bound, host is Laura Schara and person interviewed is "The Fossil Lady" Bev Sandlin. Minnesota Bound Podcast - MN Bound Podcast | When MN was under the ocean! (transistor.fm) 'Sorry I haven't been around for a while, but I am getting old and have slowed way down. I am still fossil hunting some and giving some fossil hunting tours, but I am hoping to find a replacement "Fossil Lady" before I bite the dust. A couple of years ago I was featured, second segment in episode #903 Cops and Kids, on a Minnesota Bound episode for fossil hunting, which I shared with Minnesota Buckeye, geologist Emily and our own Coprolite lady, Lori Gesch, @GeschWhat. A couple of weeks ago I was contacted to do a Behind the Scenes podcast on fossil hunting in Minnesota and this is it! Without all of the wonderful members of thefossilforum.com I would not have what little knowledge I have today and am able to share with others on the joy of fossil hunting. I had never even heard a podcast before I did this one and they sent me a link to it. Please be kind as I shared what little knowledge I have and hopefully it is at least somewhat accurate, at least it is enthusiastic. :-) I did get my blog up and running after almost two years of it being down - SEE smack myself on the forehead! Twenty minutes with Hostgator and it was up and running again. However, if I don't use it, I lose it (two strokes) and now I'm having a devil of a time trying to figure out how to post again, such is life... :-) So, my effort to send people to the BEST site on the internet for fossil hunters - thefossilforum.com!!! Thank you all for your knowledge, patience and kindness! Bev
