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.
