Hey, Siri! Play She-Wolf by Shakira! We're back with an episode fully dedicated to shifter romances. Adriana was held hostage and told to talk about shifters, but Marianne and Paola were ecstatic about it. There are wolf/wolf stories, recluse bear shifters, and the return of a legend. Also: new game to test Marianne and Paola's knowledge of mythological hybrids. Warning: we have a right to bear puns.

Books discussed: Lobizona by Romina Garber, Bear With Me by Lucy Eden, and The Firebear Brides series by Anya Nowlan.

Media mentioned: Teen Wolf (a lot), Twilight, A/B/O in fanfics, Beauty and the Beast, the hurt/comfort tag of it all, Smokey the Bear, The Cheetah Girls.
