Funny AND informative

The only podcast with three white guys worth listening to.

More animals pls ,

I want to love Tooth and Claw

But I can’t stand that it’s sometimes less than 50% animal story and facts and over 50% small talk and banter. I really just want the animals! I find myself fastforwarding and ending the eps earlier which I suppose I can always do, but it would be nice to keep the focus more on the subject of the podcast. I unsubscribed because I wasn’t getting anything of what I liked out of the subscription.

Interesting and good info, and funny

Here from npad and now enjoy this podcast as well! Great chemistry and Jeffs zingers and creative takes especially delight and crack me up!! You all have a good sense of humor and good insights and I enjoy the show!! Just adding another reiteration here that I appreciate Jeff’s funny interruptions- I know some people don’t but I literally laugh out loud often during this show and really enjoy all of you- all have made me laugh, and think!
