Episode Synopsis

This week, Stacey and JR venture into the lush gardens of Rudyard Kipling’s classic tale Rikki-Tikki-Tavi. We follow the fearless little mongoose as he faces off against the deadly cobra duo, Nag and Nagaina, in a battle of wits, speed, and survival. From childhood nostalgia to the timeless lessons about bravery, loyalty, and protecting what matters, we dig into what makes this story endure—and whether it still charms a modern audience. Plus, we share our favorite (and least favorite) moments, animal facts you never knew, and a few playful tangents along the way.
