I was recently relistening to the Giant Pacific Octopus episode (episode 6), and I found some factual errors. I have corrected them in the full episode, but I also wanted to make this corrections episode as some of you have probably already listened to the full episode.

I try to make sure everything in this podcast is accurate, but if you have any corrections you want to make, please email me at animals@kapods.org or fill out this form.
