This episode deals almost exclusively in the Cute (as long as you think crabs are cute too), and is EXTREMELY concentrated. Maybe dilute the Cute that you receive, so you can get used to it first. Here I talk about islands that play host to large numbers of specific animals, and most of the are, uh...well...cute.  Resources: I'm Scared Too: Animal Islands

In this preview/trailer/first attempt episode, I talk about stuff you can find online to make quarantine/lockdown/distancing more bearable. Turns out, the internet is a big place?!? Who knew!?

I know I flubbed my pronunciation of COVID at the end, I was just too tired to re-record that section.
