Chicago Wolves' Courtney Mahoney on Adopt-a-Dog Nights, Community Giving, and Women in Hockey OpsHost Julie Marty Pearson welcomes Courtney Mahoney, Chicago Wolves president of operations, to discuss how she rose from a college intern with no hockey background to overseeing multiple departments by saying yes to new responsibilities across game ops, community work, creative, TV, and merchandise. Courtney shares the Wolves' long-running commitment to Chicagoland giving—especially their monthly Adopt-a-Dog game nights with Border Tails Rescue and Right Way Rescue, where fans can meet dogs in the arena and adopt on the spot, contributing to over 1,900 adoptions and strong retention. She also highlights additional animal-focused efforts like pet health fairs offering free vaccines in underprivileged communities and volunteer shelter support. The conversation also covers Courtney's experience as a woman in hockey operations, the importance of growing women's leadership, and practical ways listeners can support nonprofits with time, talent, or treasure.01:12 Courtney Career Journey02:51 Rising Through Roles04:36 Passion Projects and Real Work06:29 Adopt a Dog Nights09:11 Beyond Adoption Giving Back11:47 Personal Pets and Loss13:34 Women Leading in Hockey17:11 Community First Leadership17:28 Women In Sports Careers19:53 Trust Your Gut20:45 Ditch The Shoulds21:59 Giving Back Through Work25:24 Shelter Reality And Support27:27 Game Day Dog Adoptions Support the showSupport the Podcast by Buying Us a Treat via Buy Me a CoffeeShop our Affiliate Partners:
Stitched Up Heart Release New Single "MEDUSA" featuring Lyric NoelNew Album Medusa Out Now via Judge & Jury Records A Fierce Anthem of Empowerment and Transformation, "Medusa" Finds Frontwoman Mixi Confronting Betrayal Head-On and Emerging Stronger Than Ever! In 2026, Stitched Up Heart began a bold, defining new chapter with their fourth album, MEDUSA, released on Judge & Jury Records. The album is spearheaded by the fierce, internet-culture rock anthem "GLITCH BITCH" featuring Conquer Divide, & the bloodthirsty women-empowering heater "CANNIBAL" featuring Heidi of Butcher Babies. "'Medusa' is about finally flipping the script on something that has tried to curse you. A battle cry for the women who were betrayed and serving justice by venom with a smile," explains Mixi. "Writing this song felt like clearly recognizing a betrayal, shedding your own skin, and spitting out the venom that was meant to poison you by claiming your power back. It's the perfect mirror — I'm not the girl getting gaslit and nauseous anymore. I'm the one with the Medusa stare turning problems to stone unapologetically. I'm not asking for permission anymore. I am here — I'm reborn, venomous, and ready." The song's message of rebirth extends throughout the accompanying music video, which was filmed in Dallas, Texas and draws heavily from ancient Greek mythology and imagery. Inspired by the legend of Perseus and Medusa, Stitched Up Heart flips the traditional narrative on its head. Rather than being slain by the Greek hero, the video's twin Medusas rise up and take control of their fate, ultimately defeating Perseus themselves. The concept originated with Mixi, who envisioned the striking visual of twin Medusas sharing a bathtub as a central image within the video's dreamlike and mythological world. The video's themes mirror the song's message of shedding old skin, embracing transformation, and emerging stronger from betrayal and adversity. Adding to the experience was a live snake featured in the production. Mixi shared that despite snakes often being portrayed as dangerous or sinister, the animal used on set couldn't have been more different. "The snake was actually scared of me," she recalled. "It had the sweetest soul and wasn't evil at all like people often portray snakes to be." "The songs were written with the live show in mind," says Mixi. "We wanted the energy to translate directly to the stage and create moments where people could let loose and embrace their inner crazy." While the title track and lead single "Medusa" features a standout guest appearance from Lyric Noel, the album also includes collaborations with an impressive roster of artists, including Lauren Babic, Eyes Set to Kill, Conquer Divide, Butcher Babies, Nonpoint, NOAPOLOGY, Austin John Winkler (The Founder), and Geena Fontanella. Beyond the stage, Mixi continues to use her platform to advocate for more women in rock and metal while actively volunteering with multiple animal rescue organizations throughout Southern California.

Pet Protect and Connect: Using AI to Simplify Pet Adoption for Shelters, Rescues and AdoptersHost Julie Marty Pearson welcomes Liz Adams to The Story of My Pet podcast to discuss Liz's longtime background in animal rescue and her career in healthcare technology and communications, which inspired her to create Pet Protect and Connect. Liz explains how shelters and rescues often lack time and modern tools, and how difficult or inconsistent adoption processes can deter good adopters while still risking poor matches and returns. Her platform, Pet Protect and Connect, focuses first on helping rescues by organizing and ranking applications using weighted criteria and an AI-driven learning component that highlights top positives/negatives and produces match scores, while keeping humans in control of final decisions. The tool can also help adopters by auto-populating repeat applications via a plugin and keeping qualified adopters in the system for future matches. Listeners can learn more or request demos on the Pet Protect and Connect Website or via the app and website waitlist. Follow them on Facebook and Instagram.

From Shelter Work to Nomad Life: Katherine Lacefield on Rescue, Fundraising, and Ending Judgment in Animal WelfareIn this episode of The Story of My Pet podcast, host Julie Marty-Pearson is joined by Katherine Lacefield who shares how early involvement in environmental and animal rights movements led her into shelter work, fostering, and the realities of overcrowding and euthanasia. Now living a highly nomadic life, she explains why she delayed getting pets, then расскаnts how she welcomed a healthy French Bulldog, Chaco, and later rescued Mr. Pickles—a severely neglected stray in Mexico who needed extensive treatment and ultimately became family. Katherine also discusses the complexity of moving pets across countries and how animal welfare intersects with human issues like domestic violence, addiction recovery, homelessness, and immigration. As a fundraising consultant, she explains why she focuses on building nonprofit fundraising capacity, and she urges more gratitude, monthly giving, fostering, adopting, and less judgment and infighting in the animal welfare community.

Fluent Fiction - Mandarin Chinese: Rescue Mission: The Great Panda Adventure atop the Changcheng Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/zh/episode/2026-06-27-07-38-19-zh Story Transcript:Zh: 夏日的长城,笼罩在一片神秘的薄雾之中。En: The Changcheng in summer was shrouded in a mysterious mist.Zh: 长城的高大城墙上,藤蔓肆意生长,一片破败的景象。En: On the towering walls of the Changcheng, vines grew wildly, presenting a scene of decay.Zh: 小翼、美玲和金海三人站在长城顶上,注视着不远处被困的小熊猫。En: Xiaoyi, Meiling, and Jinhai stood atop the Changcheng, watching a panda trapped not far away.Zh: 小翼是个聪明的拾荒者,美玲则是个喜欢讽刺但勇敢无畏的工程师,而金海是个体贴的巨人,特别喜欢动物。En: Xiaoyi was a clever scavenger, Meiling was a sarcastic but brave engineer, and Jinhai was a considerate giant who especially loved animals.Zh: “那只熊猫怎么能爬到那种地方?”美玲眯起眼睛,困惑地问。En: "How did that panda manage to get to such a place?" Meiling squinted, asking in confusion.Zh: “我想它是从墙的一头滑下来的吧!”金海心疼地说。En: "I think it might have slipped down from one end of the wall!" Jinhai said compassionately.Zh: 小翼看了看身边的美玲,心中下定决心一定要救下这只熊猫。En: Xiaoyi glanced at Meiling beside him, determined to rescue the panda.Zh: 他知道这是一个展现自己勇敢的好机会,也许能让美玲对他刮目相看。En: He knew this was a great opportunity to demonstrate his bravery, and perhaps gain Meiling's admiration.Zh: 然而,脚下的长城已经不再稳固,不远处的另一群拾荒者也在虎视眈眈。En: However, the Changcheng underfoot was no longer stable, and another group of scavengers was eyeing them not far away.Zh: “我们必须小心,”小翼说道,他的声音带着些微紧张,“那些人也在找机会抢夺资源。”En: "We must be careful," Xiaoyi said, his voice tinged with slight nervousness, "those people are also looking for a chance to seize resources."Zh: 几条通往熊猫的路都残破不堪,更糟糕的是,其中一条路非常高。En: Several paths leading to the panda were in disrepair, and worse, one of them was very high.Zh: 小翼有恐高症,每走一步都让他心惊肉跳。En: Xiaoyi had a fear of heights, and every step was nerve-wracking for him.Zh: 但他知道,自己无论如何都不能退缩。En: But he knew he couldn't back down no matter what.Zh: “是否可以试试借用那些藤蔓?”金海提议,像是读出了小翼的顾虑。En: "Could we try using those vines?" Jinhai suggested, as if reading Xiaoyi's concerns.Zh: “好主意!”美玲点头称赞,眼中闪着光。En: "Great idea!" Meiling nodded in approval, her eyes shining.Zh: 小翼深吸了一口气。En: Xiaoyi took a deep breath.Zh: 他努力克服恐惧,在美玲和金海的帮助下,编织出一根足够结实的藤绳。En: He worked to overcome his fear, and with the help of Meiling and Jinhai, wove a vine rope strong enough.Zh: 他大胆地抓住藤绳,从高处荡下。En: He boldly grabbed the vine rope and swung down from the height.Zh: 风呼啸而过,小翼的心跳如雷,但他坚持住了,最终成功抵达了熊猫的身边。En: The wind howled past, and Xiaoyi's heart pounded like thunder, but he held on and finally reached the panda's side.Zh: 熊猫看着小翼,似乎意识到得救了,高兴地叫了几声。En: The panda looked at Xiaoyi, seeming to realize it was saved, and called out happily.Zh: 在小翼的努力下,他们顺利地带着熊猫安返地面。En: With Xiaoyi's efforts, they successfully returned to the ground safely with the panda.Zh: “你真了不起,小翼!”美玲赞叹不已,眼中带着欣赏的光。En: "You're amazing, Xiaoyi!" Meiling exclaimed in admiration, her eyes filled with appreciation.Zh: 就在这时,熊猫用爪子拨弄着地面,露出了一个藏于长城底部的宝藏。En: At that moment, the panda used its paw to paw at the ground, revealing a treasure hidden at the base of the Changcheng.Zh: 里面是一大袋珍贵的物资。En: Inside was a large bag of precious supplies.Zh: “看来我们这次不仅救了熊猫,还得到了额外的奖赏。”金海笑着说。En: "It seems we've not only saved the panda but also received an extra reward," Jinhai said with a smile.Zh: 小翼惊讶地看着这一切,心中充满了自信。En: Xiaoyi looked at everything in surprise, filled with confidence.Zh: 他知道,这一次突破自我是值得的。En: He knew that breaking through his fears was worth it this time.Zh: 三人之间的默契和友谊也因此更加深厚,再次踏上了新的征程。En: The tacit understanding and friendship among the three of them deepened, as they embarked on a new journey once more.Zh: 长城的薄雾依旧笼罩,但他们知道前进的方向无比清晰。En: The mist over the Changcheng remained, but they knew the path ahead was incredibly clear.

Legacy of Ebenezer the Donkey. How One Animal Became a Local Community LegendIn this episode of The Story of My Pet podcast, Julie Marty-Pearson interviews Joe Dimino about his lifelong love of animals and the remarkable community bond formed around Ebenezer, a donkey in a roadside pasture near Grandview, Missouri. Joe shares how he and his son Miles (on the spectrum) regularly visited Ebenezer with carrots, how the donkey's loud bray and friendly personality drew countless neighbors to stop and connect, and how Joe's local newspaper feature and online videos helped spread Ebenezer's story. As Ebenezer aged and became ill, caregivers Randy and Shirley Phillips played a major role in supporting his care, including a stay at a horse hospital, and the community rallied with bumper stickers, memorial tributes, and even a parade float after his sudden death in 2010. Joe later created a digital book and website so Ebenezer's legacy—and the relationships he sparked—could live on.To learn more about Ebenezer the Donkey, visit the WebsiteJoe Dimino has been writing & creating in a variety of capacities since his college days at the University of Missouri-Kansas City somewhere around 1993. If you are keeping score, that would be about 29 years+. It all began at UMKCs University News as a Sports Writer & turned into a myriad of expressive avenues. Inventing poems, art, video & audio has always been in the proverbial cards. Follow Joe on Instagram and Facebook.

Multiple dog attacks in St. Louis have made local headlines and shown up on social media feeds this past week. The issue's not new, but data shows a marked increase in dangerous animal complaints in St. Louis in recent years.

Guest: Samira Davis, United Cajun NavyWhen disaster strikes, it's often the people on the ground — not the headlines — who make the biggest difference. During Hurricane Florence, while historic floods swallowed neighborhoods across the Carolinas, Samira Davis was among those who stepped up. As a volunteer with the United Cajun Navy, she helped coordinate relief for families, pets, and even horses — filling the gaps between official response and human need. In this episode, we hear her firsthand account of what it's like to navigate chaos and compassion side by side, the lessons she's carried from that experience, and how grassroots responders are reshaping what disaster recovery looks like.CHAPTERS00:00 The Human Impact of Disaster Response03:03 Becoming a Weather Geek: Personal Journeys06:16 The Role of Grassroots Organizations in Disaster Relief09:02 The United Cajun Navy: A New Era of Response11:55 Navigating Challenges in Disaster Recovery14:46 BREAK 114:54 The Importance of Preparedness and Community18:06 Animal Rescue in Disaster Situations21:09 The Long-Term Effects of Natural Disasters23:56 Getting Involved: How to Help27:04 The Power of Community and Collaboration27:40 BREAK 200:27:41 Real Estate Lessons from Disasters00:31:28 Collective Action and Preparedness00:34:54 Evolving Strategies in Disaster Relief00:37:12 Conclusion and Call to ActionSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Max talks with former KTVU 2 and KRON 4 anchor Ken Wayne, founder of Flying Tails, about his extraordinary animal rescue flights involving bear cubs, bald eagles, coyotes, and dozens of shelter animals across California. Drawing on his past experience as a Navy journalist, Ken describes the path that led him from military broadcasting to a major-market news career—and ultimately to a mission that blends aviation with wildlife rescue. Ken's journey began at the Navy's Defense Information School, where he learned print reporting, photography, radio, and TV production. His service assignments took him from the Aleutian Islands to the Mediterranean aboard the USS Biddle, and finally to Subic Bay in the Philippines, where he hosted a radio show and shot television stories for the Far East Network. He also frequently traveled by helicopter and even completed a carrier landing in a COD aboard USS Midway, building a deep appreciation for aviation. Years later, after buying a Cessna 182 and flying with friends, Ken discovered animal rescue missions through Pilots N Paws. His breakthrough came when he responded to a call seeking transport for two bear cubs from South Lake Tahoe to Ramona. That flight—completed the day before a long-planned trip to Paris—set the tone for what Flying Tails would become. The TV story went viral, helped earn him an award from the U.S. Humane Society, and brought new awareness to the potential of using GA aircraft for wildlife operations. Since then, Flying Tails has become California Fish & Wildlife's go-to aviation nonprofit. Ken describes rescuing seven bear cubs in one summer, including a tiny Ventura County cub that had to be bottle-fed by caregivers wearing bear suits to prevent human imprinting. That cub later lived in a world-class bear enclosure in Sonoma County before returning to the wild near Ojai. Another cub, found hairless in the El Dorado National Forest, was flown to the Sequoia Park Zoo after it was deemed unfit for winter survival. Flying Tails also rescues countless cats and dogs from overwhelmed Central Valley shelters. Ken recounts missions involving 21 animals at once—14 puppies found in a garbage bag, kittens injured in a tent fire, and dozens of animals who were mere hours away from being euthanized due to lack of space. He explains why animals move northward in California, where adoption demand is higher and shelter capacity more manageable. The organization's wildlife work includes transporting owls, hawks, raptors, and a bald eagle Ken released at Lake Almanor—a moment he describes as one of the most exhilarating of his life. Wildlife crates are lined with burlap to prevent feather damage, and after each flight, aircraft are disinfected to prevent disease transmission. Gloves, tie-downs, and careful weight-and-balance planning are essential parts of every mission. Emotionally, Ken says what keeps him going is watching animals shed their fear during flight. Many board the airplane scared, panting, or stressed from heat, only to fall asleep within 20–30 minutes at altitude. When the airplane lands in cooler Bay Area air, the animals appear visibly relieved. That shift—from fear to calm—is what Ken believes makes these missions so rewarding for pilots. Flying Tails is expanding rapidly. Ken recently premiered the first episode of his new PBS series Flying Tales, available on the PBS app, showcasing these missions and the beauty of California from the air. His long-term vision is to establish Flying Tails bases nationwide, enabling wildlife flights for sea turtles, alligators, wolves, and more. Pilots interested in joining the mission can sign up at FlyingTails.org or reach Ken directly. If you're getting value from this show, please support the show via PayPal, Venmo, Zelle or Patreon.
