Brand New Podcast: Fun Kids Dino Quest 🦖

Author: Fun Kids September 14, 2026 Duration: 30:23

🦖 Brand new from Fun Kids: Dino Quest, the podcast that builds a dinosaur from scratch, one real piece of science at a time!

Science Quest’s Dan introduces the very first episode, right here in full. Lauren and palaeontologist Cassius start at the very bottom with legs, and ask the big question: how fast could dinosaurs really run, and how can anyone tell when they’ve been gone for millions of years?

🏃 Footprints in Inner Mongolia show a meat eater hitting around 45 kilometres an hour, faster than Usain Bolt at his peak. Professor John Hutchinson from the Royal Veterinary College, who rebuilds dinosaurs inside a computer and makes them run, reveals whether T. rex was really the speed demon from the films (Jurassic Park has some explaining to do). Plus a dinosaur highway of nearly 200 footprints found in an Oxfordshire quarry, a dinosaur named from nothing but its footprints, and your question: could a human ever outrun a dinosaur?

🦴 Then Lauren and Cassius make the first big decision for their very own dinosaur: two legs or four? Listen to find out, then follow along every week as their creature grows, piece by piece.
