Deep In Bear Country - A Berenstain Bearcast

Are you ready to rip that binky out of that baby’s face?! It’s Baby Berenstain Bears Pacifier Time!

This week I couldn’t get my book, so I’ve decided to do an entire episode about BOARD BOOKS ABOUT PACIFIERS and WATCH MY LISTENERSHIP DROP LIKE A HOT POTATO.

Let’s take a trip with Mama, Papa, Sister, Brother, Honey and… Doctor Bear? Doctor Bear. To the ICE AGE as I GEEK OUT over prehistoric animals and BORE YOU TO TEARS with BUCKETS of FACTS. Also, standwithminnesota.com still needs donations to help families affected by the recent ICE invasion.

This week, we’re watching along with The Berenstain Bears In the Dark and Ring the Bell. The last two segments of Season One! WOO HOO! Also, standwithminnesota.com is still the best place to go for donations but there’s also https://www.gofundme.com/f/support-south-high-school-families to directly support the familes of South HIgh students primarily with rent support.
