Something for everyone! Love Bunsen and Beaker dog science helpers, from twitter. That lead me to this amazing podcast that delves deep into science topics with expert guests, mixed with stories of each guest’s pet, and stories of adorable Bunsen and Beaker. Also love hearing pet stories on Pet Chat during the weekends. High recommend!
