Lovely, Fun, And Educational!

I learn so much while enjoying this podcast! Amanda and Kelly are delightful, and I love the bug talk plus all of their fun tangents. I love listening while I'm painting with watercolors or doing dishes. Thank you for adding an amusing and smart soundtrack to my art projects and chores!

A chill way to learn about nature

The hosts are an odd couple of sorts, one a loud, high energy animated artist, the other a cool and collected scientific voice. They present a fun way to learn about bugs and nature in general.

Embrace your nerd!

Did you know some mothers have an organ in their belly that counteracts the sonic radar of bats? Or that ladybugs are more heavily regulated in food production because their secretions are kind of bitter? Probably my new favorite podcast.
