What happens when two arachnophobic podcast hosts interview one of the internet’s most loved spider moms? Well it was better than we expected! Madison is the creator of @jumping.spooders, an Instagram/TikTok/YouTube account that celebrates jumping spiders. Jumping spiders are the largest family of spiders at 13% of all species, and Madison’s posts show us what makes them unique – not just among spiders but all critters. We chat with her about how she became a spider mom, best practices for taking care of her “spoodies,” Halloween, and why spiders deserve the same love and respect that we give our pets. We hope you enjoy the conversation as much as we did, and be sure to check out Madison’s YouTube page here!
