My new favorite podcast! Love the hosts, their boozy banter, and relatable tangents about living with wildlife in your attic. Deeply enjoying learning about so many new species with Ashley and Maggie! *May contain saucy language. 😐

So informative, irreverent and funny!

Really enjoy the hosts and their approach to the dissemination of fun facts about animals. So entertaining and informative. If you love to giggle while you learn cool stuff about animals, this is the podcast for you. Keep on keeping on!
