Animals of Appalachia
Hosted by Frog Beans · EN
Animals of Appalachia is a podcast by Frog Beans that is actually two podcasts in one. Every week you will get to dip into conservation and what we, as humans can do better. The following day we creep our way in to the mysterious world of cryptids, myths, and legends. One of us shows how they could be real while the other ruins everything... sometimes. Join us every Thursday for conservation and every Friday for fun.
