Thanks for being such great fans who inspire us to keep at it! We were up against some tough competition, including our good friends at NPR's Skunk Bear Above is a picture of the award with our Executive-in-Charge Sue Ellen McCann, our fearless leader, who accepted the award in Boston on the rest of the teamβs behalf.
What's fun about this bi-annual award, is that it recognizes our work as a series over the past couple years, as opposed to a single episode.

Josh has a few thoughts on that episode: "Iβve always been curious about roly polies ever since I was a kid. They always reminded me of little Transformers, which were my favorite at the time. The weirdest thing about the shoot was hearing that roly polies taste like shrimp, though none of us indulged. Apparently they taste gross unless you get them on a grain diet for a while because otherwise you taste whatever half-rotten food the roly poly ate. The hardest part was getting a roly poly to relax and let me film its belly with the microscope. They ball up when they get scared so it took a wile to get one to open to the camera. Then theyβd open up and scurry away right away. Just took patience and eventually one opened up slowly enough to get the shot of the pleopodal lungs. Also it rained for about a week straight during the time I was supposed to film the roly polies. When it finally let up we actually struggled to find them. They are so ubiquitous but we couldnβt find them. Turns out they burrow down and hang out under rocks when it rains like that to keep from drowning. "
