Hello, friends, and welcome to episode 184 of Just the Zoo of Us. This week we're doing things

a little differently. I am joined by a tabletop role-playing game podcaster and expert game master

for an exploration of class. Don't worry, it is not taxonomy. We are talking Dungeons and

dragons character classes and the real real world animals that embody them.

We discuss animals with maxed out dexterity, charisma, and strength.

And if you've never played D&D, don't worry.

We give explanations of the basics along the way so that anybody can enjoy.

But before we get into the episode, I have just a couple of

quick notes that I would like to echo from last week, just in case you missed them. First up,

we are getting ready for our annual listener submission episode. So if you have any questions

for me and Christian that you'd like us to answer or stories about the way that the podcast

has had an impact on your life or how you've connected with the content,

please email those to me by Saturday, March 18th, preferably with the words, special episode

in the subject line so that we can read them on the show. My second small programming note is

that our releases over the next few weeks will be a little different from usual since we are

going to be traveling and preparing for the max fun drive towards the end of this month. So next week's

episode will actually be a feed drop of a guest appearance I made on another podcast that I think

y'all will really enjoy. After that is going to be the max fun drive. So we've got a couple of special, really exciting episodes that I think y'all will really enjoy. After that is going to be the Max Fun Drive,

so we've got a couple of special, really exciting episodes

that I think you are going to love.

That's all the announcements,

so get out your character sheets and your polyhedral dice.
