Great podcast!

I came here from Just the Zoo of Us, an animal rating podcast. Olivia did an episode with Ellen (the host of just the zoo of us, plus Christian) on episode 79, which is my favorite episode from Just the Zoo of Us. I absolutely love this podcast! The theme song is growing on me. I am so glad I came here! This podcast helps me relax whenever I need, and I love it. Also, for episode 22, I actually have a pet toe biter. My mom does work with them, and her instructor said she could take one home and she did! We named it Fernis (I call it Fernie). We don’t get to touch it, of course, because it will bite us, but we can enjoy it from far away. It was so tiny, now it’s so big! Anyways, I really wanted to share that😅 Ah! These are the animals I would like you to feature: Giraffe weevil, stalk-eyed fly, Chan’s megastick, megaphragma, and lots more that I can’t handle typing. I would like to congratulate these podcasters on an amazing job! Can’t wait to listen more!!

I recommend this podcast! Please take a listen😁🤗😉🥳🤩
