From the seat of power at 10 Downing St to the toilet seat in Anchorage, we review recent news of cats inhabiting the higher echelons of political influence and a shocking story of a bear that stoops very low.

Hare Bear and Everywhere is a podcast of animal news and gossip about the non-human by a pair of artists/primates, Rachel McRae and Yelena Zhelezov, with editing by Zlatna Nedeva.

Interspecies love is the best love. Shirley Braha comes on the pod to tell us about her relationship with Marnie the Dog, a sweet Shih Tzu with the purest soul, the longest tongue, and 2 million Instagram followers. Join us for a chat about the many things we can learn from canine beings, viral elder-dog energy, love, loss, finding love again (a ray of hope since Valentine's Day is coming up), and what it's like to be a celebrity dog-parent.

In this episode, we bring you breaking news of the new White House residents, aka the Pets in Chief. Join us as we discuss past presidential pets, pets wishing to become presidents, and pets being mean to presidents. We’ll cover bison election tactics (they vote!) and Westminster civil servant dating tactics (also animal-related!) Finally, we’ll dive into Bernie Sanders memes (both birds and bugs!) and take a moment to remember the fly that landed on Mike Pence’s head.

It's New Year's Eve and the people-party is cancelled, but our furry and feathered friends are still out there kicking it. In our inaugural episode, Rachel and Yelena chirp about drunk birds, stoned spiders, high-flying reindeer, and coca-munching caterpillars. Join us, as we live vicariously through the antics of these party animals. 

Welcome to Hare, Bear and Everywhere – a podcast about animals in the news. We look at how we talk about animals, why we talk about animals, and what consequences these conversations might have in the human (and non-human) world. Join your primate-hosts, Yelena Zhelezov and Rachel McRae, every other Thursday for a hefty dose of memes, mammals and animal gossip.
