4 – Cat ASMR, Penguins, and Corn – Animal Crap


August 24, 2021

About the Episode

From birds to elephants, poop is the one thing that we have in common with the animal kingdom. But does studying it come at a price? We’re not even sure anymore.

Sierra rants about corn while Colin tells horrible dad jokes and expands on some *crappy* research. (Get it?) Join us as we talk about a topic that probably most podcasts have never covered!
