Comfort Creatures - 23: Rosie Talbot, Narnia Deer, and Excellent Cats
play

01/12/23 • 57 min

Rosie Talbot is the author of Sixteen Souls as well as being a big deal on booktok... but you know the drill, we comfort creatures crew just don't really care about that. We're far more interested in hearing about her sensational cat names, the badgers in her garden and magical white Narnia deer of the British countryside. If you like cottage core, ghost pets and wonderful writer women with modern Disney princess energy then you'll love Rosie as much as we do! Also very small warning we do say "Sh*t" a few times, but we had to leave it in un-bleeped as it is technically a name. Find more Rosie at www.rosietalbot.co.uk or @Merrowchild on social media!

Comfort Creatures - 05: Alexis + Ella Talk Talking Animals
play

09/08/22 • 43 min

This week we're giving you bread and butter, salt and pepper, ice cream and jelly (is that just a Brit thing?). A classic pairing indeed, it's an Alexis and Ella episode. We have some strong opinions on animals in movies, animated creatures and the internal logic of Stuart Little. Alexis also dons her professors cap and gives an animal art history lesson. It's a very rainy English day as I (Ella) write this but Rosa Bonheur has given me a heightened appreciation for wild muddy countryside, disruptive women and sheep!
