    20 - Spider silliness with Emily @mini_robomuppets
    2025/04/12

    This week, Laena (@mfspood) is joined by Emily (@mini_robomuppets)! It was impossible to edit out the giggles on this one, and it does get a bit silly.

    Emily and Laena talk about how getting over spider fears can lead to making spoody content for social media. Emily also answers the big questions ("have you been bitten?", "should I breed them?" and "can I keep this wild-caught jumping spider?" are a few)! We also learn about a Spanish-speaking jumping spider and a male spood that fell in love with a toy saxophone. :)
