Episodes
Each of our episodes of The Dugger Pawcast starts with a short teaser in which Stanley the Hotel Clerk encounters one of our historical dog guests and their traveling companion(s). The remaining portion of the podcast is an interactive session between Dugger, Marcy from Marketing and their guests. We have written each episode based on historical research and hope that it provides a nice mix of both entertaining content and insight about the historic dogs being interviewed.
We have sprinkled a Dugger Dinners commercial or two within the podcast; check out the bonus content clip on YouTube (between series creator Ken and Dugger) to learn more about why that is the case. If you’d like to know more about how we power these historic dogs through the magic of AI, visit our Podcast Team page for insight.
For the first few episodes, you will hear some names that you recognize – like Fido and Rover – and learn why these have become such famous dog names. We have plans for many additional stories. Feel feel free to offer your suggestions by using the Contact Form on the Contact page to provide additional suggestions on who you would like to hear Dugger and his Team interview next!
