About this episode
This week on the Slaptail Squad, the Beaveman gives a preview of his plans for a new segment or a completely new podcast. Squad member Swan and friend of the show Skylar join him for this brief look into the most prevalent roundworm infection in the world. Please see the show links for fun videos, images, articles and websites. Let us know if you think this should be a periodic installment on the show or if you think this would make a fun, new podcast as part of the Slaptail Nation network.
