39: Happy International Koala Day! May 04, 2023

Show notes

Happy belated international Koala day! We can, of course, assume you all had this momentous day marked in your calendars, took the day off work and school and had a barbie (BBQ) in honour of our Aussie friends... right? This week we get deep into marsupial pouches, discuss half a dozen opposable thumbs and explain why lady-Koalas are modern queer icons. There is *some* mention of sexy things this episode (all very high brow, we're basically national geographic) so listener discretion is advised. We also have a wonderful Ready Pet Go from Miriam, Joan, Stachia and Nutty!
