50: Gilli Nissim, Wilma, and Mango
Comfort Creatures
07/20/23 • 80 min
This week Ella and Alexis are joined by the joy that is Gilli Nissim, writer, comedian and dog-mum to WILMA! One thing we know about CC guests- they're gonna name their pets well! We chat about Gilli's childhood dogs, the validation that comes from being the only one an animal likes and whether dogs really do help you on the pull (is that a very british phrase? What's the US equivalent?)

Comfort Creatures
07/13/23 • 52 min
Is a cockroach a pet? What if it hisses and you can enter it in a derby race for a child's birthday? What about a little octopus? Perhaps something bigger like a llama? This week, Alexis tells a few stories about just a few of her childhood pets. Plus, Ella has some childhood pet strories of her own, though they primarily lived inside her mind. Plus, we have a top notch Ready Pet Go from Connor and Jack and some important kitten updates!

This week Ella and Alexis are joined by London based celebrity vet Dr Bolu Eso. Dr Bolu trained in Budapest, treated Jaguars in the jungle and loves bichon frise.

We get serious and silly and we think you're going LOVE it- Dr B is a legend and we are big fans. Also he may have the best ever answer to our final question. Sorry previous guests. Dr B has you Dr Beat.

45: Mermaid Mythology and Dog People
Comfort Creatures
06/15/23 • 51 min
This week, Ella and Alexis take a dive (get it?) into the folklore behind mermaids and dog-people. Of course, by dog-people we mean half-human-half-dogs like the Lupari in Doctor Who, not just people that LIKE dogs. Plus, Ella gives us an animal update on her trip to the Scottish Highlands and we have a modified Ready Pet Go from Erin about her London fox sightings!
Also an update since recording: Alexis has learned that there ARE occasionally foxes in NYC!

44: Hayley Marie Norman and Hot Cat Ladies
Comfort Creatures
06/08/23 • 66 min
Ella and Alexis have learned the fastest way to make a friend is to ask about their pets, and the SECOND fastest way is to share a love for unusual dreams. Well, this week we got BOTH! Hayley Marie Norman is an actor, writer, podcast host, and most importantly fellow animal lover. We rant about the wrongful stereotypes of cat ladies, learn about rare goat-milk for jaguars, and of course learn all about Hayley's FOUR pets! When you're done listening, don't forget to check out Hayley's new podcast - Datemare with Hayley Marie Norman!

43: Burying Your Old Gay Turtles
Comfort Creatures
06/01/23 • 45 min
This week we're talking about TURTLES! Ella and Alexis couldn't open their phones without seeing a video of someone burying their pet turtle or pulling it out of the fridge, so they've gotten to the bottom of why someone might do such a thing! Of course, we had to find some fun turtle mythology to compliment the science as well. Plus, we learn about the oldest documented cat, Jonathan that STILL living old turtle, and have a wonderful Ready, Pet, Go from Jael!

Comfort Creatures
05/25/23 • 66 min
Ele Woods is a comedian, actress, cat-mum, Great Dane Aunt and woodland nymph. We adore her! She chats to us today about mythological naming conventions, hybridising our animal selves and many many (tragic) mice! Plus, we have in-depth discussion on the French-ness of Basset Hounds and some next level pet names!

51: Discomfort Creatures
Comfort Creatures
07/27/23 • 38 min
NOT ALL CREATURES ARE COMFORTING. There. We said it. Ella's not a fan of pigeons and even Alexis, who is basically a cooler, edgier Snow White, has a few creepy crawlies/scary scuttlers that she's not a fan of. This week we discuss what it is that makes a creature not quite as comforting and try to overcome the ick. What creatures could you perhaps do without? Write in and let us know!
