We're revisiting the animated and live action 101 Dalmatians movies to see how they hold up today. (As Anya points out, Julia's favorite animal movie should have included a PSA about doggy family planning.)

The recent nation-wide impact of the Canadian wildfires on the U.S. has been nothing short of scary. Cities filled with orange smoke and air quality levels at terrifying highs have forced the conversation about why wildfires start and how to manage them in areas where people never expected to have to deal with them. Part of those discussions in the news media and on social has been about the effect of wildfires on animals, from household pets to wildlife across the U.S. Julia and Anya discuss what happens to animals during wildfires and what can be done to help them.

Last month, King Charles's coronation took over the internet, and while we aren't exactly "royal watchers," we couldn't help but follow along. King Charles is said to be many things but is he an animal lover? We dive into a short history on the British royal family and their relationship to animals -- corgis, eel pie, and all. In the end, we have to agree that the Balmoral Bats have it better than most of us. As the musician Lorde once put it, "we'll never be royal" -- even compared with the castle critters.

Julia and Scottish historian Donna Heddle talk about why unicorns have survived while other mythical beasts vanished in folklore, and how Scotland came to be the home of the unicorn. Later, Anya explains why unicorns were banned from her childhood to prevent her from practicing sorcery.

While most of our featured animals are highly visible, this one is rather elusive: Scotland’s Loch Ness Monster, affectionately known as Nessie! Our guest, Gary Campbell is the keeper of the official Loch Ness Monster Sightings Register, a catalog of all known Nessie sightings.

Peanut was a baby when his mom was hit by a car and he was picked up by Mark. Today, they’re an inseparable pair who spend their days making breakfast, taking naps, and delighting the internet with their adventures.

Penny is a mini pig who spends most days hanging out with her dad and other firefighters at Engine Co. 239 in Brooklyn, NY. When she’s not delighting her neighbors with her cuteness, she’s painting pictures at the firehouse with her snout.

In 2011, Mike Bridavsky met the runt of a litter of stray kittens who would go on to become one of the most famous internet cats. Shortly after, she became an internet sensation and a poster animal for accepting all people and creatures as they are, regardless of their differences.

When Joanne noticed that Pigcasso ate or destroyed everything except some old paint brushes that were laying in her stall, she decided to nurture the pig’s potential talent. It didn’t take long before Pigcasso began to paint – and over time, the painting process developed into an extraordinary collaboration between human and pig.
