About the show

Just the Zoo of Us is an animal review podcast by Ellen & Christian Weatherford of Jacksonville, Florida.

Guest episodes feature experts from all over the world sharing their knowledge and insight into the animal world.

This podcast is made with families in mind and contains no profanity or graphic language.
