Originally, the show featured a segment called "Mutt Minute" wherein a host is assigned the task of educating the audience on a dog breed in under a minute.[2] Starting in episode 143,[3] this segment is replaced with "My Mutt Minute", where listeners submit a one-minute voice recording about their own dogs.
