While Jonathan and Redge take a summer break, we have a special treat from our new pod pals at Cozy Critters, the podcast perfect for bedtime or anytime you need a calming adventure. And guess what? The episode we’re sharing is all about hedgehogs! Dougie Pickles and his purr-fest host, Miss Meow Meow will tell you more about these cute and cozy critters - with soothing sounds, fun facts and relaxing breathing exercises to help you wind down.
Big shout-out to Finn, age 5, who wanted to learn more about us prickly pals. Jonathan shared a few fun facts on the summer edition of Mr. Redge’s Hotline, but now everyone can learn even more about Redge’s favorite subject.
