CritterCast family- it’s Episode 57 and we’ve got a fun one in store for you! But first we want to address what’s going on in the world. The #BlackLivesMatter movement is in the spotlight once more and we’re offering complete support. It would be irresponsible not to use our platform to help elevate the stories and shows of black and other POC creators. So that’s what we do, but in true CritterCast form.

We also have a full 1 hour episode ALL about Spotted Hyenas with a very special guest host Moxie, the host and author of Your Brain On Facts! Moxie shares with us the fascinating and disturbing world of spotted hyena anatomy and mating. We learn about their complicated social structure and why, yet again, Disney got it wrong.

WANT TO CHECK OUT OUR PROMOTED PODCASTS? This week we’re featuring two awesome shows by BPOC! First check out Book of Lies and then hop on over and give The Root of Science a listen too!

In this episode of CritterCast, we’re dishing the scoop on the cutest and most murderous (?!?!) of small mammals…the meerkat! Though these furry friends are not part of the feline family, they’re as cute as kittens. Of course we discuss the ever-popular Animal Planet TV Show “Meerkat Manor” as well as all the facts (fun or otherwise) that make meerkats so freaking cool. Excuse our technical difficulties as we figure out how to conduct phone interviews in order to be able to record when we’re not in the same place as someone else. We think it went pretty well!
