Podcasts about animal talk

People use language to express themselves, but do you ever wonder how other animals communicate with each other? If they don't speak like us, how do they convey information? In our first Animal Talk episode we learned about the complex ways animals communicate, and how some species even have their own languages and dialects. In “Paw 2” we find out even more about the amazing world of animal talk, and about the science behind linguistic development in animals. Evan interviews Dr. Irene Pepperberg, research professor at Boston University in the Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences about her groundbreaking work with Alex the African Grey Parrot. Dr. Pepperberg worked with Alex for 30 years and taught him over 100 English words. Not only was Alex able to communicate with humans, he even asked what color he was when looking at himself in the mirror, becoming the first known non-human to ask a question! Nichole goes beneath the waves with Dr. Aude Pacini from the Marine Mammal Research Program at the Hawaii Institute of Marine Biology. Dr. Pacini records whale and dolphin song with sophisticated underwater microphones. She was part of an expedition where the world-class cellist Yo Yo Ma played music for whales from the deck of a famous Hawaiian canoe! Evan takes us down to North Georgia with Project Chimps, a chimpanzee sanctuary where over 90 retired lab chimps roam freely on six protected acres of forest. Our hosts are also joined by the very human creator of the Brooklyn Folk Festival, Eli Smith, who plays some banjo for us and talks about the upcoming festival this November 7-9. This episode is jam-packed, but don't worry, we still found room for favorites like Cryptid Corner, Grandparent Stories, jokes and more.

Everyone has the ability to communicate with animals and all forms of life, according to Penelope Smith, pioneering founder of the field she named — interspecies telepathic communication. It's a spiritual journey that reveals the innermost essence of who you are. When you tap into your innate skills and connect more deeply with animals through interspecies telepathic communication, you'll find greater harmony with the animals in your life as you address their behavioral issues and needs. And, you'll find more peace and joy within yourself as you learn to trust your intuition. Find out about her new workshop, and TAKE A FREE ONE-HOUR COURSE WITH PENELOPE, CLICK HERE (the course is ALWAYS available at this link, no matter when you see this) https://shiftnetwork.isrefer.com/go/bawsSG/a20283/ Communicating with animals telepathically throughout her life, Penelope Smith discovered in 1971 that animals could be relieved of emotional traumas and other problems through the same counseling techniques that helped humans. SHE ALSO CAME TO UNDERSTAND that teaching people to communicate with their pets and other animals AWAKENED THEM to their True Nature! Her visionary work as a pioneer teacher of interspecies telepathic communication since the 1970s has helped launch the careers of numerous professional animal communicators. She wrote the popular, classic books, Animal Talk, When Animals Speak, and Animals in Spirit. Penelope believes that everyone is born with the power to communicate with other species, and that, although it is long lost for most people, it can be regained for the benefit of all beings on Earth: Penelope's website is https://animaltalk.net Suzanne Giesemann is a teacher of personal transformation, an author, and a medium who has been recognized on the Watkins' list of the 100 Most Spiritually Influential Living People.
