Totally Pawsome Pod

By: Dr. Sip Siperstein and Melissa McCue-McGrath
  • Summary

  • This is an all animal podcast with an R rating for sex, cultural taboo, STDs, fish orgies, and an appropriate amount of cursing. Dr. Siperstein is a veterinarian and Melissa is a professional dog trainer - they have been working professionally with animals for over 30 years combined and have many stories that would get the Wild Kratts an FCC violation. Twice a month they will dive deep on a controversial subject in the animal world and wash it all down with a news story about animals that would make David Attenborough clutch some pearls. So, put the kids to bed, get a beverage of your choice, and listen to this animal podcast with an after-dark vibe. This is Totally Pawsome.
