In this bonus episode of Storytelling Animals, I look back on what I've learned from almost two years of the podcast with my brother Kyle Martindale, who designed my logo. We also talk about his new children's book, The ABC's of the Real Dancing Eagle, and share some formative animal encounters from our pasts. Thanks so much for everyone who supported this podcast in any way throughout my first two seasons!Buy Kyle's book: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C91N8X4S?ref_=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_dp_2JGG74CQWDZ5EYEY8227Follow him on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/therealdancingeagle/?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igshid=OGQ5ZDc2ODk2ZA==Check out his website: https://therealdancingeagle.com/Subscribe to my free monthly-ish newsletter to keep up with my work: https://apple6.aweb.page/p/de4ee963-cd8d-4ced-9975-e13965236a7dFollow me on Twitter: https://twitter.com/DaytonRMartindThis podcast is a proud member of the iRoar network of pro-animal podcasts: https://iroarpod.com/ Hosted on Acast.
