This podcast has taught me so many useful tips and tricks not just on animal related things for work, but even more about people interactions. It is truly helpful even for those who are not in the animal field, but looking for better ways to communicate with peers. There’s great episodes that can help on the leadership side of things too! I have learned so much from their podcasts, it has helped me grow into the human I am. I have learned new ways to support those around me and build better, mor... more

Hello All!
I highly recommend this podcast to anyone and everyone who has an interest in animal care and behavior. As a current animal science student this podcast has been a fantastic dose of animal behavior and “behind the scenes” conversations, and insights to real day to day animal care situations that I do not get while earning my degree. On top of all of this Ari and Chris speak in terms and with a realness that everyone can relate to. Love this pod ! #ForeverSpeakingIntoAMicrophone ☺️
Apple Podcasts5lauvie01United States2 years ago - Hope you are all better Ari and that Chris is recovering too!!
