CritterCast

We’re living for Ari’s new single “thank u, next” this week…so for Episode 20 we wanted to say our penultimate thank you to man (or WOMAN)’s best friend! Most specifically, since dogs is a huge topic, we discuss therapy dogs and the benefits of owning or interacting with dogs. We’re dishing on the special bond you have with your K9 friend and taking plenty of time to shower our own dogs in love.

This week on CritterCast we have a deep discussion about Kenyan Sand Boas, and why we are so so thankful for them. It’s been a while since we visited the slithery world of snakes, and what better snake to talk about than the chubby noodle itself? Listen to Episode 19 for significant fawning over sand boas, tangents about our resident critters, and a some terrible puns.

Spooktober may have ended, but CritterCast continues on! In this week’s episode, we have a whale of a time discussing our favorite non-whales: Orcas! Cassie and Koreena spend some time de-mystifying these apex predators and frantically trying to comprehend just what a Killer Whale nipple looks like. How do they sleep? How big exactly is 30 feet? And why are grandma orcas so important? Find out those answers and more in Episode 18 of CritterCast!

Down with the patriarchy! VIVE LA BLACK CATS! This week, in the conclusion of our Spooktober episodes, we talk about the most iconic Halloween critter: the black cat! We get down and dirty with the facts. What makes them spooky? What makes them lucky? Why do we love them so much? Or, an alternative title, how many times can Koreena say “delve into” in just one episode??? Listen to find out!

In this third episode of Spooktober, we’re writing love letters to the toads of the world, whether they’re “True Toads” or not. Cassie has a blast saying “Bufo, Bufo” and Koreena recalls her shallow high school relationships in episode 16 of CritterCast. Listen to find out more about why we don’t think toads deserve their spooky-Halloween status, but also why we sort of wish we were all living that #toadlife

As Spooktober continues, we get all freaky Friday and Koreena terrifies Cassie with all-too-true facts about Widow spiders. Learn how they got their name, how to identify them, where they live, and how not to get bit (But also why you don’t need to worry too much if you do)! Whether you’re an arachnophile, an aracnophobe, or an arachnid, you’ll have a ghoulishly good time with the CritterCast crew!

It’s the beginning of SPOOKTOBER and for Episode 14, Koreena and Cassie are kicking off the Halloween season with the scoop on Ravens, Crows, and other members of the crovidae family. What is up with these mysterious birds? Did they earn they earn the group name “murder” of crows or is it all just a tragic misunderstanding? Tell us what YOU think a group of crows should be called!

Hello! Do you have a moment to talk about snails? Learn all about the differences between snails and slugs (are there any?), and what makes gastropods so extra. Be dazzled by snail teeth! Amazed by slug diets! Terrified by snail sex! We’ve got all this and more in this week’s episode. Also, why does Koreena love snails, but have decidely ambivalent feelings about slugs? And will Cassie ever find a random animal fact she doesn’t like?

In Episode 12, Koreena and Cassie are back from vacation with guest-host Randeep. Learn all about how much Koreena hates having so many teachers in her life, the important roles water buffalo play in the global community, and what the tastiest type of buffalo milk is as we delve into the world of Buffalo and hear stories about growing up around them!

What makes Great White Sharks so great? This week Cassie and Koreena dive into the mysterious lives of the most seaspicious of ocean-dwelling creatures: the GREAT. WHITE. SHARK! Are they terrifying, soulless killing machines, or the world’s most badass single moms? Listen, and cast your votes!
