    Thanks for tuning into the Dinosaurs Lately podcast, the dinosaur podcast that features periodic updates recapping the latest news on the dinosaurs. This is the podcast that targets a type of dinosaur and tries to catch you up on everything that’s been published on them … lately. The goal is to keep up with all the dinosaurs news, even when I’m not publishing new episodes of the Juras-Sick Park-Cast. If you’re interested in this sort of thing – I hope it helps you feel … up to date. Episode 13 - Tyrannosaurs Pt. 1 (Fall 2026). Tyrannosaur news: Dalman, S.G., M.A. Loewen, R.A. Pyron, S.E.
