ep 8: Humans are the Worst!
Published:

This episode inadvertently put Darcy and Lauren on a soapbox about how humanity is the worst thing to happen to animals... except perhaps meerkats! We're sure the bear and walrus highlighted in the other stories would have a lot of opinions to share on the topic. Here are some cute penguins to help you feel better.

Cats on planes, cats on a tin roof, cats surviving disasters... Cats are litter-ally everywhere in this pawsome episode!

Ep 6: The Rooster is a What?
Published:

You know what they say about birds of a feather flocking together? Well, one rooster wasn't a chicken and decided to fly the coop to do something that may beak your interest. Let's say his story puts him at the top of the pecking order amongst his friends. If you want to put an end to these egg-cellent puns, just listen to the episode!

Ep 5: So many questions... listen for the answers!

Would you enjoy a goat invasion? What does "lizard-ous" mean? How can paper clips be used in a surgery for fish? What would make a dentist and koala become friends? Get the answer to these questions and more on this week's episode of A Different Breed of News!

Episode 2: "Chef Lenny" and "Everything You Didn't Want to Know About Dinosaur Butt Holes"
Published:

This week Lauren and Darcy take on two vastly different topics! First, learn about Lenny the bearded dragon. He's used time in quarantine more wisely than many of us to become the star of a cookbook.
