One of my Faves
Love this show so much! On top of all the amazing facts and hilarious side stories, yalls relationship is so sweet. I love how yall talk and listen to eachother with so much respect and enthusiasm. Definitely an example i try to use in my own relationships. The guests you bring on are always fantastic as well. Great work and great show
PS the theme music by Louie Zong is so on point and nostalgic. I swear I had an emotional reaction the first time I heard it
10s across the board! Best podcast ever!
This podcast is the best if you love animals and people with lots of humor. I’ve been listening to this podcast for about a year, and it is absolutely amazing! I wish I discovered it sooner. Just the Zoo of Us has gotten me through so much, and I couldn’t recommend anything because this podcast is flawless. I am afraid of many animals, and when they do some of the animals I am afraid of, they give me a reason not to be afraid. I suggest this podcast. I don’t know who couldn’t give this a 5 star rating. I want to say, for episode 94, 200, 210, and any other future bear episodes, I want you to know..”If it’s brown, lay down, if it’s black, fight back, if it’s white, say goodnight.”! Just a little thing my dad taught me. I think. I’m not sure. I have bad memory😂. Can you do the Etruscan shrew or the horse head grasshopper? Etruscan shrews are the smallest animals in the world, and horse head grasshoppers look super...what’s the word? Funky?!! And, on episode 142, at the end when you said you were going to play jackbox.tv? My family loves the game! Anyway, love the show! Have a nice day, and sorry this comment was so long!! Continue making this great podcast! I totally recommend it😁
Have a nice day!🤪
Amazing!!
This podcast is so well made! It’s professional and informative, as well as wonderfully fun to listen to and learn all about these animals. The hosts sound like such nice people!
