Dolly was probably the most famous sheep to have ever lived, but a lot of what we think we know about her is actually untrue. For example, did you know that she actually wasn't the first animal ever to be cloned? She wasn't even the first cloned sheep! So why did she get so much more attention than her predecessors? We dive into all of that in this weeks episode, as well as discussing what she was like as an individual, and the legacy she left behind her in the world of scientific and medical research.

Important note: Unfortunately I wasn't able to import my show when I was switching hosting platforms, and as a result I'm having to re-upload my podcast from the start. Because of that, these early episodes are not indictive of the show's current quality - both in terms of the equipment used and my own skills as a writer & presenter - so apologies for that! Hopefully before too long I'll have caught up to my current output. In the meantime, you can check out my full back catalogue of episodes, and catch up with my newer content, over on my YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLp6MWEI1w5ZrPiEM7zZKmgvtqhmWWbpeB
