- My new favorite podcast
Been binging this podcast pretty consistently since the summer. Love the dynamic and banter between the hosts along with the ever informative animal info. 5 claws.
However, I do take umbrage with the fact that all three hosts think Jurassic Park 2 is the best of the series!! That’s blasphemy. The only correct answer is the OG Jurassic Park.
*amending this: apparently I was wrong and they thankfully think the original the best. They are now 6 claws to me.

Apple Podcasts5RIANBOW KITTYUnited Statesa month ago - Great stories!
Your podcast features wonderful stories; however, the extended chatter between segments feels a bit long and somewhat distracting.
Apple Podcasts2KMH99709United Statesa month ago - Great content, but please cut back on the jokes/banter
The jokes/innuendos and light hearted pauses are just excessive. Especially when telling the heart of the story, it makes it kinda annoying when you can’t go 3 minutes without interrupting to insert a pun, joke or light hearted comment. If you could just throttle back a bit on the humor this would be a perfect podcast. I love the banter and sense of humor but it’s just too much sometimes. Especially when dealing with heavy subject matter such as people dying. Thank you!!
