Allen and Briony, self-described rabbit show and rabbit history geeks, have long been contemplating a way to capture and share stories, lessons and inspiration with fellow hobbyists and the world at large. As Covid-19 shut down shows, fairs and much of this community’s ability to get together, they realized that a podcast could help. Both began as youth exhibitors and competitors, and went on to became ARBA judges and leaders in the rabbit and cavy industry. Their intent is to showcase guests and topics that will educate, entertain and inspire.
