I'm Scared Too
Whitney Rayl
The world is a mess, and everyone is scared. This podcast is just a teeny little ray of sunshine in an increasingly dark world.

Episode 2: Islands Just FULL of Animals
This episode deals almost exclusively in the Cute (as long as you think crabs are cute too), and is EXTREMELY concentrated. Maybe dilute the Cute that you receive, so you can get used to it first. Here I talk about islands that play host to large numbers of specific animals, and most of the are, uh...well...cute.  Resources: I'm Scared Too: Animal Islands

Episode 1: CoRvids
Did y'all know that crows are smart as heck? Did you know that ravens do, indeed, talk? These bad boys are incredible, and while I couldn't cover everything, here are some incredible birdy stories. References found here: Google Docs: Episode 1

Episode 0.5: Shining Bright
In this preview/trailer/first attempt episode, I talk about stuff you can find online to make quarantine/lockdown/distancing more bearable. Turns out, the internet is a big place?!? Who knew!? I know I flubbed my pronunciation of COVID at the end, I was just too tired to re-record that section.
