United States23 days ago - Likable Hosts, Animal Biology
I love how much biology information is included in each episode about the animal attacks, as well as the local ecosystems, and environment in historic and socio-cultural contexts.

These guys are great. I’ve always loved animals and the great outdoors, watching documentaries, and going to zoos and refuges, but I have learned so much more about animals listening to this podcast! The hosts are great fun too. My friend recommended this podcast to me and I’m forever thankful.
Apple Podcasts5Mary Amelia!United Statesa month ago - Jeff is killing it.
I used to love this show. The content, the info, and the entertainmemt of the banter was above average. But for months now, Jeff has been a massive distraction.

Totally inappropriate political jokes, obtusely offensive random comments, deliberately unfactual things requiring disclaimers or immediate disqualification, and often simply vacuous filler remarks are bringing the show down. It need no... more
