I love podcasts and usually binge episodes daily, but I've fallen off the podcast train because all of them are now sneaking in their political opinions. Often, you will find me screaming, “More Housewives, Less Politics!!!” It was cool when actors and other entertainment folks started podcasts (The Armchair Expert is the best), but they're humans, too, and I don't blame them for wanting to use their platforms to share their thoughts and opinions, but I don't want to hear it.
So, I'm on the hunt for new podcasts to follow, and I've decided to follow podcasts about dogs.
I don't have time to take online courses or earn a second degree, but I'm hungry for knowledge about dog nutrition, training, behavior, dog breeds, and more. The following is a list of podcasts (in no particular order) that I plan to check out:

2 – Drinking from the Toilet Dog Training Podcast – “a behind-the-scenes look into the reality of dog training, behavior, and learning. We love our dogs, we love our jobs, but sometimes it’s not all unicorns and rainbows. Sometimes, at the end of the day, you need a drink and a friend who gets it. With a heavy dose of humor and a side of empathy, we explore high-level behavior science concepts mixed with real conversations and practical training advice. We keep it nerdy, relatable, and real.”

My Podcasts (with Friends)
21 – Girls with Dogs Podcast – in 2021, my friend Cathy (Groovy Goldendoodles) suggested that we turn our weekly phone conversations into a podcast, and Girls with Dogs was born. Each week, we chat about our dogs, and sometimes we have guests. We're looking forward to doing live events. We're having a blast.
22 – The Alternative Dog Moms Podcast – in 2022, I shared that I wanted a fun podcast about dogs that delved into the pet industry and the Fresh Food community. Erin Scott of the Believe in Dog podcast was having the same thoughts. So, we came together to launch a podcast and had a blast. We talk about books, studies, and brands we love, and sometimes, we take a left and talk about Sex in the City or some other pop culture happening.
