Bestiary is produced by Meg Sipos Eric Botts.

Thanks to GennaRose Nethercott and Ben Clark for allowing us to record and air these poems and for lending their voices to the project.

Some of these poems were first published online, in text form, at the literary journal, The Offing. They were also a finalist in the Black Lawrence Black River Chapbook Competition.

Podington Bear created our ad music. Additional music in this episode from Frank Haffort, Howie Mitchell, the Illinois Brass Band, ZAZ, and Marion Harris.

If you think we’re worth keeping around, you might consider making a monthly donation. If you can’t donate, you could leave us a review on Apple Podcasts or just share the show with someone who hasn’t heard us.

We’re always looking for new material. Send us your animal-related stories, or that time you were reminded of your own or other people’s animal-ness, or maybe something happened once, and you’re not sure it has anything to do with animals, but it still feels somehow relevant to the show. Leave us a message at (571) 446-0341 or record a voice memo on your phone and email it to Eric@BestiaryPod.org.
