Lions!
This week on the Varmints podcast Paul and Donna travel to the savanna to present a king-sized show featuring “the king of the jungle”: lions!
But first, some five star reviews!
Laura LB: Who knew learning about animals could be so educational and entertaining?And I love the pop culture references. Check it out for some fun mental entertainment.
Nicki Thatcher: I haven’t met anyone who doesn’t love this podcast. Donna and Paul are amazing hosts and have the best chemistry! I love listening to this podcast with my son. He LOVES it!!
Film Roast Podcast: Varmints! First off, this is the best name for a podcast all about animals. Secondly, Donna and Paul are GREAT hosts! You can tell they take their time researching each animal and I don’t think I’ve gone five minutes into one of their episodes without learning something. It’s like watching National Geographic do standup. Listen to Varmints! So you can listen to people who are not animal experts have a fantastic time!
“Hi guys, loved the show. Great job as always.I’m one of those kind of people who will turn off a podcast to research something I never heard of, like a Weasel War Dance. I went to Sonya Sokolov’s vid; have you seen it? SPOILER – rabbits are weasel food! But it is great to show the reason behind the dance, and how effective it is.I was so happy to then go to the vid you recommended. PS I’ve lost plenty of chickens to weasels – they would only eat the brain!” – Bridget
Here’s the video she referenced! Thanks Bridget!
