Episode Description

Leave us a voicemail!

Zazie and Kristi ask each other rapid fire questions about dogs and cats, breeds and behaviour. But in this game of this or that, we also discuss the answers, illuminating ideas about training and enrichment. By the end of the show, you'll know Zazie and Kristi a lot better, but you'll also have learned something about dogs and cats.

As you listen, be sure to shout out your answers too! Or you can leave us a voicemail and let us know.

Do you have any this-or-that questions that you would like us to answer? Send them in!

At the end of the episode, we discuss the books we've been reading:

  • Detective Aunty by Uzma Jalaluddin
  • Crier's War by Nina Varela
