It's filled with animal clues, original animal songs, animal jokes and interviews with special guests from comedians to scientists to kids. It’s all based around the very important question, “What animal is making you happy today?” and is hosted by sister/brother zoologists, filmmakers and songwriters Laura Sams and Robert Sams, who share their own animal adventures and misadventures. Like that time Rob was outsmarted by an octopus, and a moose, and a golden tamarin monkey, and well, you get the idea. The podcast is like a comedy safari for your ears! New episodes every other Saturday.","last_synced_at":"2026-08-02T14:18:28.601335+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-happiest-animal-show-7268499"},"episode":{"title":"Smart Animals (with octopus scientist Chelsea Bennice)","slug":"smart-animals-with-octopus-scientist-chelsea-bennice","published_at":"2026-02-07T03:04:37+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-happiest-animal-show-7268499/smart-animals-with-octopus-scientist-chelsea-bennice","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-happiest-animal-show-7268499","url":"https://podcast.show/3932513/episode/152064346/","audio_url":"https://media.blubrry.com/3932513/mc.blubrry.com/3932513/HAS-2026-02-06-033.mp3?awCollectionId=3932513&awEpisodeId=11969720&aw_0_azn.pgenre=Kids+%26+Family&aw_0_1st.ri=blubrry&aw_0_azn.pcountry=US&aw_0_azn.planguage=en&cat_exclude=IAB1-2%2CIAB1-8%2CIAB1-9%2CIAB2-3%2CIAB2-5%2CIAB2-16%2CIAB3-1%2CIAB3-3%2CIAB3-5%2CIAB3-7%2CIAB3-11%2CIAB3-12%2CIAB4-3%2CIAB5-15%2CIAB6-4%2CIAB7%2CIAB8-2%2CIAB8-5%2CIAB8-6%2CIAB8-7%2CIAB8-9%2CIAB8-13%2CIAB8-18%2CIAB8-19%2CIAB8-20%2CIAB8-21%2CIAB8-23%2CIAB9-9%2CIAB9-13%2CIAB9-14%2CIAB9-18%2CIAB10-1%2CIAB10-9%2CIAB11%2CIAB12%2CIAB13%2CIAB14%2CIAB15-1%2CIAB15-5%2CIAB17-4%2CIAB17-12%2CIAB17-14%2CIAB17-16%2CIAB17-18%2CIAB17-22%2CIAB17-25%2CIAB18%2CIAB19-3%2CIAB19-4%2CIAB19-6%2CIAB19-7%2CIAB19-8%2CIAB19-10%2CIAB19-12%2CIAB19-13%2CIAB19-14%2CIAB19-15%2CIAB19-17%2CIAB19-18%2CIAB19-19%2CIAB19-20%2CIAB19-23%2CIAB19-24%2CIAB19-25%2CIAB19-26%2CIAB19-28%2CIAB19-29%2CIAB19-30%2CIAB19-31%2CIAB19-32%2CIAB19-33%2CIAB19-34%2CIAB19-35%2CIAB19-36%2CIAB21%2CIAB22%2CIAB23%2CIAB24%2CIAB25%2CIAB26&aw_0_cnt.rss=https%3A%2F%2Ffeeds.blubrry.com%2Ffeeds%2F3932513.xml","summary":"What smart animals are making you happy today?
