      <title>Episode 27– Be My Guest: &lt;em&gt;Explore-a-saurus&lt;/em&gt;</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Hey podcast listeners, it&amp;rsquo;s been a while but we are back on the safari intrepidly exploring behind the scenes at Museum Victoria. A mammoth thank you to all of who have been involved with and listen to Access All Areas Podcast Adventures because thanks to you we won an international award - the Best Audio/Visual/Podcast category in the MW2011 Best of the Web awards! Thank you!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In this episode, we deviously gatecrash the opening of the Explore-a-saurus dinosaur exhibition at Scienceworks. We hunt down dinosaur experts and dig up interesting science. We dance with animatronic dinosaurs and hang with dino enthusiasts whilst foraging for finger foods. I still find it amazing that chickens are modern-day dinosaurs.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Do the chicken dance, Dr Andi&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Episode 26 – Science (with poetic licence)</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;This episode tours the museum&amp;rsquo;s Natural Sciences Department via poetry by Ogden Nash (1902-1971). Like the scientists, he clearly loved to ponder our natural world as he wrote many memorable poems about animals and creepy crawlies.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Poets are allowed poetic licence, but pedants like me will still want to seek out the scientific line. So in this episode, we count the ribs of pythons, discuss the mating habits of shrimps, sniff out information on squashed ants, try to convince my cubicle buddy to do duck impersonations, find out the difference between centipedes and millipedes and reveal that Melbourne Museum has a an eel whisperer.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Animatedly yours, Dr Andi&lt;/p&gt;

Poets are allowed poetic licence, but pedants like me will still want to seek out the scientific line. So in this episode, we count the ribs of pythons, discuss the mating habits of shrimps, sniff out information on squashed ants, try to convince my cubicle buddy to do duck impersonations, find out the difference between centipedes and millipedes and reveal that Melbourne Museum has a an eel whisperer.

      <title>Episode 25 – Two words...  sounds like... auditory illusions</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Optical illusions are always great entertainment. It&amp;rsquo;s so amazing that our eyes and brains distort signals to the point where seeing is no longer quite believing. You&amp;rsquo;ll never guess what I found in the museum collections stores; a cassette tape of auditory illusions, among the files of a retired curator. When you listen to this podcast you will need stereo headphones or stereo speakers to get the full effect of the auditory illusions. One illusion is so amazing that everyone in the room hears something different. Enjoy the trip these sounds will take you on... they are un-real.&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Episode 24 – It has a natural ringtone</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Since doing podcasts, I have become more aware of the soundscapes and rhythms of various environments. Can you guess this mystery sound? This may not work in non-audio medium like print, but try it anyway ...&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;b&amp;rsquo;loop, b&amp;rsquo;loop... b&amp;rsquo;loop... ...b&amp;rsquo;loop, b&amp;rsquo;loop...&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;That&amp;rsquo;s five items at the supermarket checkout. Okay can you guess this one?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Kashunk, wrrrrr, kashunk ,wrrrrr, kashunk...&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;That&amp;rsquo;s hand luggage rolling over pavement.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I&amp;rsquo;ve been searching for a new personalised ringtone for my mobile phone; naturally I turned to the museum collections as self-appointed curator of culturally significant ringtones. In this episode we launch our first two Museum Victoria mobile phone ringtones: the imagined squawks of extinct Qantassaurus dinosaurs and the 1885 mechanical coin-operated Symphonion music machine.&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Episode 23 – Sounds like tech spirit</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;I was in the museum&amp;rsquo;s collection store the other day, the one that houses a lot of technology items, and wondered what it would sound like if it came alive at midnight. Would it be a noisy place? The historic clocks would chime, the wind-up toys would clatter and buzz, the industrial machines would hum a rhythmic bass and some old computers game would beep and bop while the phonograph players would wind-up waltz. Then again, it might be such a cacophony that it would sound like the pots and pans cupboard collapsing. In this episode, we ask one of the Museum Victoria curators to activate objects that usually lie silent so we can celebrate the sounds of some unusual collection objects.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Of sound mind, Dr Andi&lt;/p&gt;

Would it be a noisy place? The historic clocks would chime, the wind-up toys would clatter and buzz, the industrial machines would hum a rhythmic bass and some old computers game would beep and bop while the phonograph players would wind-up waltz. Then again, it might be such a cacophony that it would sound like the pots and pans cupboard collapsing. In this episode, we ask one of the Museum Victoria curators to activate objects that usually lie silent so we can celebrate the sounds of some unusual collection objects.

      <title>Episode 22 – Phar Lap’s tale</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Ever wondered why so many Australians pay homage to Phar Lap the racehorse at Melbourne Museum? Is your knowledge of Phar Lap simply that he lived fast, died young and left a beautiful corpse? Here is your opportunity to get versed up with Jackie Kerin, the author of Phar Lap the Wonder Horse.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Incidentally, Phar Lap&amp;rsquo;s skeleton is exhibited at Te Papa Museum in New Zealand, his preserved heart is at the National Museum in Canberra and his beautiful hide is on display at Melbourne Museum, but his tale (irresistible pun intended) is right here.&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Episode 21 – A short history of Phar Lap curators</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;The &amp;lsquo;relics&amp;rsquo; of history have been housed in museums for hundreds of years. Museum Victoria was officially started in 1854 by British colonialists who collected items deemed to be significant to the nation&amp;rsquo;s identity, culture, and education.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Today the tradition of acquiring and housing what is significant to the nation&amp;rsquo;s culture continues but it&amp;rsquo;s performed by representatives of the broad Australian public, in the form of historians, scientists, and indigenous consultants, collectively known as curators.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;While Phar Lap is one of Museums Victoria&amp;rsquo;s most famous relics, it&amp;rsquo;s the succession of three Phar Lap curators that we explore in this podcast.&amp;nbsp; Their research and interpretation has allowed the stories of Phar Lap to be gathered, authenticated, understood, preserved and enjoyed.&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Episode 20 – Roll out the steam engines</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;The great thing about museum objects at Scienceworks is you don&amp;rsquo;t have wait til midnight for them come alive. You can attend one of their seasonal Machines in Action days (&amp;lsquo;MAD&amp;rsquo; events as they call it) to experience the sights, sounds and smells of old giant steam engines, a gold and money van from the 1930s, and vintage motors on four wheels. That day the Mini car club were out there celebrating their 50th birthday. When it comes to motor vehicles, I have to &amp;lsquo;fess up the only thing I was really interested in was the sound of their &amp;lsquo;toot&amp;rsquo;, but after meeting the people who know their machines inside and out, I got excited about them too.&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Episode 19 – Be My Guest: Wild Thing</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Where you find the wild things is right here at Melbourne Museum! There is a new exhibition called Wild: amazing animals in a changing world. There are over 700 specimens on display and it&amp;rsquo;s a wonderful zoo of animals playing 'freeze'. The extinct Tasmanian Tiger specimen is on display but what you become sadly aware of is so many endangered creatures may join him. The exhibition also celebrates amazingly effective conservation efforts and climate change awareness. Let&amp;rsquo;s act so museums and zoos are not the last places we find our wild friends.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In fine furriness, Dr Andi&lt;/p&gt;

There is a new exhibition called Wild: amazing animals in a changing world. There are over 700 specimens on display and it&amp;rsquo;s a wonderful zoo of animals playing 'freeze'. The extinct Tasmanian Tiger specimen is on display but what you become sadly aware of is so many endangered creatures may join him. The exhibition also celebrates amazingly effective conservation efforts and climate change awareness. Let&amp;rsquo;s act so museums and zoos are not the last places we find our wild friends.

      <title>Episode 18 – The strange case of the butterfly theft</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Good crime fiction finds out whodunnit by asking why and how they did it. Evidence can lead us to the culprit but can also lead us to erroneous assumptions. In this episode we talk to one of history&amp;rsquo;s detectives &amp;ndash; the archivist.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Ross Harrison Snow, Museum Victoria&amp;rsquo;s (former) archivist, uncovered a long-forgotten but fascinating story about a butterfly theft that occurred from museums in Australia and New Zealand in the late 1940s.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The evidence, such as old museum correspondence, documents, court proceedings and media clippings, tells the story through what&amp;rsquo;s said but also and what isn&amp;rsquo;t said.&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Episode 17 – Home of the rare and famous</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;If I said we were going to visit old relics, valuable treasures and strange creatures, you might think we were going into the museum&amp;rsquo;s collection store. But no, we&amp;rsquo;re venturing into another restricted place: the rare books section of Museum Victoria&amp;rsquo;s library, where even staff need special permission for access.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The rare books section contains rare resources and famous books accumulated by the museum over the past 150 years. The illustrations in the rare books are a visual treat, but the stories behind the books, as told by library staff, are just as vivid. We meet the diligent librarian who found a forgotten rare and famous book during a spring clean, and hear tales of printing presses working in the freezing Antarctic.&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Episode 16 – Be My Guest: A Day in Pompeii</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;We humans have been posting our comments around the place for centuries. Mobile phones and Twitter may be the tools we use today, but back in 79 AD, the Romans recorded their opinions about life as graffiti on the walls of their cities.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We know this because aspects of Roman life in Pompeii were preserved in the many metres of volcanic ash from the eruption of Mt Vesuvius. The evidence remains even after centuries of looting and unauthorised excavations.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Over 200 artefacts are on loan to Museum Victoria for this very special Melbourne Museum exhibition, A Day in Pompeii. It was opened by the Minster for the Arts and I really wanted to take a picture of her next to the statue of Minerva, the Roman Goddess of the Arts, but didn't get a chance.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Gladiatorial-ly and curatorial-ly yours, Dr Andi&lt;/p&gt;

Mobile phones and Twitter may be the tools we use today, but back in 79 AD, the Romans recorded their opinions about life as graffiti on the walls of their cities. We know this because aspects of Roman life in Pompeii were preserved in the many metres of volcanic ash from the eruption of Mt Vesuvius. The evidence remains even after centuries of looting and unauthorised excavations. Over 200 artefacts are on loan to Museum Victoria for this very special Melbourne Museum exhibition, A Day in Pompeii. It was opened by the Minster for the Arts and I really wanted to take a picture of her next to the statue of Minerva, the Roman Goddess of the Arts, but didn't get a chance.

      <title>Episode 15 – Be My Guest: Star Wars</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Be my guest as we gatecrash another special exhibition event, this time at Scienceworks. A long, long time ago (in 2005) in a Museum of Science far, far away (in Boston) some exhibition people got together with a crowd from LucasFilm Ltd and joined forces to create an exhibition called &lt;em&gt;Star Wars: Where Science Meets Imagination&lt;/em&gt;. It&amp;rsquo;s designed to ignite interest in science and technology and interestingly one of the scientists interviewed in the exhibition mentions that Star Wars inspired her to study robotics!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;May the fourth is international Star Wars Day, but every day is Star Wars Day at Scienceworks for the next 5 months while this travelling exhibition is in Melbourne. So go forth with the force that is science and imagination.&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Episode 14 – Exposure to the Elements</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Have you seen &lt;a href="http://www.wolframalpha.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Wolfram|Alpha&lt;/a&gt;? It&amp;rsquo;s not an internet search engine, even though it seems like one, but rather a computational knowledge engine. You ask it a question, and it actually computes the answer. Seems the perfect way to double-check if the meaning of life is really 42, like Douglas Adams wrote in A Hitchhikers&amp;rsquo; Guide to the Galaxy.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;However, it occurred to me that the answer should actually be 94 not 42. Here is my theory. Things that have meaning &amp;hellip;matter, all life is made up of &amp;hellip;matter, therefore the meaning of life is &amp;hellip;matter! Since there are 94 types of matter naturally found on Earth, the number 94 must be the secret to &amp;lsquo;Life, the Universe and Everything&amp;rsquo; and the periodic table of the elements must be the map!&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Episode 13 - Be My Guest: Dinosaur Walk &amp; Talk</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Be my guest&lt;/em&gt; is a new series of podcast adventures that gatecrash Museum Victoria exhibition openings. Forget trying to get onto the VIP invite list, just sneak in with me and we&amp;rsquo;ll munch finger food with the A-list guests, pop a cork with curators and ask the critics what they think of the exhibition. 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
In this episode we find out what a teenage Mongolian &lt;em&gt;&lt;a href="http://museumvictoria.com.au/MelbourneMuseum/DiscoveryCentre/Dinosaur-Walk/Meet-the-Skeletons/Tarbosaurus/" target="_blank"&gt;Tarbosaurus&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt; has to say about the world, eavesdrop on an &lt;em&gt;&lt;a href="http://museumvictoria.com.au/MelbourneMuseum/DiscoveryCentre/Dinosaur-Walk/Meet-the-Skeletons/Amargasaurus/" target="_blank"&gt;Amargasaurus&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt; on its mobile phone and take a joy ride on a flying &lt;em&gt;&lt;a href="http://museumvictoria.com.au/MelbourneMuseum/DiscoveryCentre/Dinosaur-Walk/Meet-the-Skeletons/Quetzalcoatlus/" target="_blank"&gt;Quetzalcoatlus&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;.&lt;/em&gt; Yep, we will be chatting with fossils, walking with dinosaurs and dancing with ancient wolves. 
&lt;/p&gt;

Forget trying to get onto the VIP invite list, just sneak in with me and we&amp;rsquo;ll munch finger food with the A-list guests, pop a cork with curators and ask the critics what they think of the exhibition. In this episode we find out what a teenage Mongolian Tarbosaurus has to say about the world, eavesdrop on an Amargasaurus on its mobile phone and take a joy ride on a flying Quetzalcoatlus. Yep, we will be chatting with fossils, walking with dinosaurs and dancing with ancient wolves.
