The title along the top reads Dogs and cats: How to help them be friends. Beneath, the orange stripe with the name of the podcast, The Pawsitive Post in Conversation, and the Companion Animal Psychology logo. In between, a screenshot of Zazie Todd and Kristi Benson chatting via Zoom. Zazie has her bookshelves behind her, and you can just see one of Kristi's dogs on the sofa behind her.
