#143 Pet Taxidermy with Divya Anantharaman

Taxidermist Divya Anantharaman joins to share why she finds ketchup more gross than an animal’s insides, the electrocuted lizard that inspired her artform, the challenges of recreating a cat mid-jump or a mouse’s genitalia, the protocols for putting a dead pet in the freezer, jokes she’s tired of hearing you make about her profession, and why there’s nothing more queer than taxidermy. Russell and Gianmarco also discuss where they’d like they’re stuffed bodies to go if they can ever find a country where that’s legal.  You can watch full video of this episode HERE!
