Headline: YEAR 10 KICKS OFF NOW! & A MASSIVE THANK YOU!

Emmy-nominated comedian, actress, writer, producer and all-around powerhouse Michelle Buteau joins Jill Rappaport for a hilarious, heartfelt and refreshingly candid conversation about her soaring career, fabulous family—and the rescue dogs who have changed her life. Michelle opens up about starring in Spa Weekend, saying goodbye to her beloved Netflix series Survival of the Thickest, making her directorial debut, raising seven-year-old twins and why finding happiness and using her voice matter more than simply chasing the next big career milestone. Then the conversation turns to the passion that instantly bonded Michelle and Jill: animal rescue. Michelle reveals why she made the conscious decision to adopt big black dogs that are so often overlooked in shelters and shares the touching story of Lola Falana, the 110-pound “lap mastiff” who helped heal her after a miscarriage and later became an extraordinary companion to her children. She also introduces the family's lovable mastiff-pit mix Whitney Houston and reflects on the devastating loss of her first fur baby, Roxy. Funny, inspiring and filled with heart, it's Michelle Buteau as you may never have heard her before—and a beautiful reminder that sometimes the animal you rescue ends up rescuing you right back.EPISODE NOTES: Michelle Buteau Unleashed: Comedy, Family & the Rescue Dogs Who Changed Her LifeBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/rappaport-to-the-rescue-on-pet-life-radio-petliferadio-com--6667849/support.

Margaret Atwood is donating 1 million dollars to Western University. The money will establish a new chair in avian biology and honour her late partner and fellow novelist Graeme Gibson who loved birds. We speak with Chris Guglielmo Professor of Biology and Director at the Centre for Animals on the Move at Western University about what this donation could mean for the research of birds and why humans are still so fascinated by them.

How should we regard animals, and what moral obligations do we have toward them? In this Ultimate Issues Hour, Dennis Prager explores the proper relationship between human beings and animals, examining animal rights, cruelty, hunting, farming, eating meat, and the distinction between human and animal life. Dennis argues that animals should be treated humanely and never subjected to unnecessary suffering, while maintaining that animal life is not equivalent to human life. He discusses biblical teachings concerning the treatment of animals, the purpose of animal sacrifice, bullfighting, factory farming, and the importance of recognizing the seriousness involved in taking an animal’s life. Through listener calls and thoughtful discussion, Dennis considers whether animals can be morally accountable, why cruelty to animals may reflect broader moral problems, and how modern society’s emotional attachment to animals can blur important distinctions.

Interview starts at 32:00 Dean Kinzer of Kinzer Coins joins Graham Dunlop and Darren Grimes for a wide ranging conversation about ancient coins, the family roots that pulled him into collecting, and why coins are really compact historical records. Dean explains how ancient coinage evolved from electrum globs and early stamped pieces into state backed currency, and why collectors can use coins to trace politics, propaganda, economics, and the rise and fall of civilizations. We discuss why ancient coins are still accessible to new collectors, how grading and slabbed coins reduce the risk of counterfeits, and why Dean built tools to help people understand value without getting burned. Along the way, the conversation covers Roman debasement, the Ides of March coin, Viking treasure, mythological imagery, and why the hobby is as much about education as it is about collecting.   Dean Kinzer is an ancient coin expert and founder of Kinzer Coins, known for helping collectors and history enthusiasts hold the past in their hands. Dean's journey into ancient coins began after his father's passing, when he received his father's extensive collection. He realized there was a gap in the market for trusted ancient coin expertise. As a decorated Iraq War veteran with an MBA, Dean brings discipline, structure, and integrity to the 2,700 year old field of ancient coins, collecting, and education. https://kinzercoins.com/ Special Audience Giveaway: TITLE - The 5 Best Ancient Coins for New Collectors URL - https://startancients.com   Key topics Dean shares his origin story growing up in a collector household, surrounded by baseball cards, American coins, and a father whose collection grew into a massive organized archive We discuss how caring for his father's collection after his illness led Dean to ancient coins, especially Biblical pieces like shekels of Tyre, tribute pennies, and widows mites The conversation explains the earliest coinage in western Turkey, including electrum, hand struck pieces, and the early fight against counterfeiting with striated designs and incuse punches Dean breaks down Croesus and the shift from stamped metal to formal state backed coinage across the Mediterranean We discuss how coin artistry evolved from utility to high relief portraits, signed dies, and city states using coins as civic identity Darren asks about money with no inherent value, and Dean uses Rome's debasement of silver to show how inflation and collapse appear directly in coinage The Roman denarius is traced from high purity silver to zero silver over roughly 60 years, with Caracalla, Aurelian, and the late empire used as key examples The show explores how coins functioned as propaganda, carrying messages across an empire when direct communication was difficult Dean highlights unusual and collectible themes on ancient coins, including wrestlers, athletes, astronomy, animals, music, boxing, gladiators, and mythological founders The discussion turns to the Ides of March coin, Julius Caesar's portrait on coinage, and why the Brutus Eid Mar coin is one of the most famous and valuable ancient coins Dean explains the modern collecting market, including slabbed coins, NGC grading, counterfeit prevention, and his own value guide and app for Roman imperial coins The episode closes with Dean talking about the diversity of the collecting community, the educational mission behind Kinzer Coins, and the idea of a surprise coin subscription concept sparked during the interview   Become a Lord or Lady with 1k donations over time.

You think Sasquatch is hard to find, I have something even more rare.A Democrat or Leftist who will tell the truth.Ask one if they voted for Biden, and they get angry. Ask them any question related to their stance on an issue, and you'd better be wearing a spit guard.They get incensed over the smallest things.THEN, look at how they live! It's hardly related to their politics. Sure a few young hipsters may live on the periphery of a Black neighborhood in hopes of gentrifying it, and taming the “natives”. But few will live IN it. Rare animals. Contradictions.Far more live in protected communities, where they can harass real Americans for having Old Glory flying, or some homage to Trump or political sanity.These people send their kids to private schools, and if they can't afford that, you can bet they live in districts where schools at least give students a fighting chance.

Dr. Jackie Ogden is a behavioral psychologist who spent her career working in leadership positions at world-renowned institutions like the San Diego Zoo and Disney's Animal Kingdom. In this episode, Jackie tells Sarah what animal behavior can teach us about grief and mortality, and why it's critical for conservation efforts to be about people, in addition to animals. Then, Jackie talks candidly about much more personal topics: the humor and daily practice required to care for a spouse with Alzheimer's disease, and what it was like for her to recently receive her own early-stage Alzheimer's diagnosis. Jackie reveals her desire to be intentional during her final chapter, and what she thinks it truly means to make peace with the end of life.

My guest today is Taj Uppal, an animal rights activist and lawyer. We recorded this conversation while Taj was facing two felony charges and more than six years in prison for rescuing two baby goats from an industrial dairy farm in California. Since recording, a judge has reduced those charges to misdemeanours. The case is not over, but the most serious threat discussed in the episode has now been removed, which is great news. Nonetheless the consequences for Taj have been substantial, including losing a job offer at a major law firm and potentially putting his legal career at risk. In this episode, we have a pretty personal and reflective conversation about civil disobedience and open rescue and the role these tactics have in helping animals. Taj explains why he no longer sees direct action as a silver bullet, but still believes that the sacrifice it involves can generate dialogue, give activists credibility and be a deeply transformative, even spiritual, experience.We also discuss when civil disobedience is most likely to work, why it should often come after other campaigning methods have been exhausted and the legal, practical and community infrastructure needed to support people taking these risks. We even reverse the interview for a while, with Taj asking me about my own experiences with Extinction Rebellion and Animal Rebellion. This is a topic very close to my background, so I really enjoyed having this conversation with Taj, and thought it was a pretty interesting and even coverage of some of the benefits and risks of taking more high-risk action.A quick plug, unrelated to this great conversation with Taj: A group I volunteer with, UK Voters for Animals, is hosting a mass lobby day on the 10th of November, where we're bringing over 100 people to Parliament to meet their MPs about ending frankenchickens, which is a cruel fast-growing breed of chicken. We had over 100 people come last year, with 30 meetings with MPs, which was a huge success for the first-ever mass lobby day for animals. This year, we want it to be even bigger, so if you're in the UK and want to come along, you can sign up here.Chapters:(00:00:00) Introduction(00:08:24) Facing trial for open rescue(00:10:19) The other personal impacts of rescue(00:17:39) Why this farm?

Long before human medicine existed, animals were already using nature's pharmacy to treat their own illnesses.

Picture Jesus walking into the temple with a whip in His hand.Tables are overturned.Coins are scattering across the floor.Animals are running.People are being driven out.Wait… is this the same Jesus we sing about?The gentle Jesus. The compassionate Jesus. The Jesus who welcomed children, touched the hurting, and told the weary to come to Him.So why was Jesus angry?In this episode of Dream Creation Podcast, we go inside one of the most startling moments in the Gospels: Jesus cleansing the temple (Matthew 21:12–13, Mark 11:15–17, Luke 19:45–46, John 2:13–17).But this story isn't only about what happened in Jerusalem.Jesus was confronting something deeper: worship had become transactional. A house of prayer had become a marketplace.And if we're honest, we can do the same thing in our relationship with God.We can start thinking:If I pray enough, maybe God will answer me.If I obey enough, maybe God will bless me.If I perform well enough, maybe God will finally be pleased with me.But what if God never asked you to earn His love?What if your relationship with Him was never supposed to be a transaction?We'll look at Isaiah 56:7, Jeremiah 7:11, and Malachi 3:1–3 to understand what Jesus was revealing when He cleansed the temple—and then bring the story into our own hearts.Because Scripture tells us that we are now temples of the Holy Spirit.So the question becomes:What would Jesus find if He walked into the temple of your heart today?And perhaps the tables He wants to overturn aren't there to shame you.Perhaps they're there to set you free.Your heart is a temple, not a marketplace — you do not have to perform to be loved by God.

From the outside, school lunches may seem simple. However, handling dietary guidelines and financial constraints can make that meal anything but simple. Kiley Allan learns more about the complicated process from Caitlin Harrison, Director of Food & Nutrition Services at Elmbrook School District. Harrison says menu planning for school meals must adhere to complex federal regulations governing calorie counts, sodium limits, fat percentages, whole grains, lean proteins, and fiber requirements. She says federal reimbursement must cover all operational costs—including labor, equipment, maintenance, and overhead—leaving only about $1.00 to $2.00 per student tray to cover actual food costs. That means a budget really has to stretch. Harrison says they try to stay in touch with the kids and parents on the menu. They frequently conduct surveys asking strategic questions but it seems that students typically request favorites like chicken, pizza, and burgers, while parents ask for greater overall variety, whole grains, and diverse ethnic cuisine. Today will be the last dry day for Wisconsin's weather. Stu Muck says the moisture starts rolling in tonight. Land sales are popping up again on the Steffes Group website.

Pam Jahnke visits with Lisa Behnke, communications director for the show, about the generational stories to be told. Not just the cow generations, but the family generations caring for those cows.

Michael Pollan is a renowned author, journalist and professor at UC Berkeley. He is best known for his influential works on how humans and plants have shaped each other at the level of food, medicine, health, and culture. In this episode we discuss consciousness—what it is and how the recognition between our self vs others contributes to-- but also can impair, certain aspects of conscious experience. We discuss psychedelics, the microbiome, caffeine, and how the unconscious dialogue between our body and brain impacts our thoughts and feelings.

Dr. Saad Bhamla is Assistant Professor in the School of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology. Research in Saad's lab spans two different focus areas. Some of his projects are dedicated to developing very low-cost scientific tools and medical devices in order to make these items more accessible and affordable worldwide. Another area of research examines questions in biology and organismal physics. In this area, he is investigating how animals are able to move very rapidly, as well as how organisms can form aggregates that can sense their environment and share information. Through his research, he is using his expertise in engineering to solve problems to help society. In his free time, Saad loves to go running. Whether he is training for his next marathon or just taking his dogs out for some exercise, running has been a great way for him to think through problems and brainstorm new ideas. He received his bachelor's degree in Chemical Engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology Madras and his PhD in Chemical Engineering from Stanford University. Afterwards, he conducted postdoctoral research at Stanford University and was awarded a Dean's Postdoctoral Fellowship in Bioengineering. In addition, Saad has been awarded a National Science Foundation CAREER Award, a Beazley Design Award, Medgadget's Best Medical Technology Award, an award from The Index Project (formerly INDEX: Design to Improve Life), an Innovation in MedTech Award from the American India Foundation and Stanford University, the Centennial Teaching Award from Stanford University, and The Milton van Dyke Award from the American Physical Society Division of Fluid Dynamics.

Can AI understand the language of animals? Scientists today are using artificial intelligence to try to understand the language of animals, but Jewish tradition tells us that there were people who could already understand what animals were saying. The Torah gives us a fascinating perspective on the voices of the animal world.(Sukkot)

Just So Stories (version 2)Rudyard Kipling (1865 - 1936)The stories, first published in 1902, are fantastic accounts of how various natural phenomena came about. The original editions of Just So Stories were illustrated with woodcuts by Kipling himself. Read along online and see the illustrations at mainlesson.com. Each story is accompanied by a poem, in a somewhat ballad style. Many of the stories are addressed to "Best Beloved" (they were first written for Kipling's eldest daughter, Josephine, who had died during an outbreak of influenza in 1899), and throughout they use a comically elevated style inspired by the formal speech of India, full of long and improbable-sounding words, some of them made up. As a result, it is a delight to read them aloud, and easy to memorise passages from them.

When an impure animal appears to be born to a pure animal, the animal can be consumed if and only if its head and more resembles the kosher mother. But can a kosher animal and a non-kosher animal truly mate? It seems not. To the extent that an animal that looks like it's the progeny of both perhaps may have been born of two kosher animals, but where one had a mutation to look like a non-kosher animal. Also, the question of how practical the concern was about this kind of progeny of kosher-and-non-kosher animals. Plus, a new mishnah! On fish, where the non-kosher fish swallowed a kosher fish or the reverse. Note that the distinction between non-kosher fish (usually sea creatures or sea food) and kosher fish is the difference between spawning progeny vs. laying eggs.

While recent financial woes are weighing heavily on park management, the animals still got a chance to party. Rachel Graham reports.

What if your cat could tell you exactly what they're thinking? This week on Cattitude, Michelle Fern welcomes animal communicator Zan Ottaway, whose approach combines intuitive communication with an understanding of animal behavior. Zan explains how she connects with cats, why she believes anyone can become more receptive to what their pets are communicating, and why cats aren't being spiteful when they act out—they may instead be expressing insecurity, excitement or stress. Michelle even puts Zan's ideas to the test with her own misunderstood cat, Charlotte, as they explore one of the most frustrating feline problems of all: litter box issues. The conversation also takes a touching turn as Zan discusses how cats grieve, communicating with pets who have passed, the guilt many pet parents experience after losing a beloved animal, and her work helping rescue animals. Whether you're a believer, a skeptic or simply wish your cat came with a translator, this episode may have you looking—and listening—to your feline companion in an entirely new way.EPISODE NOTES: Your Cat Is Talking—Are You Listening?Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/cattitude-the-1-cat-podcast--6666768/support.

"Everything is a story. Every belief that we have, every entity or institution is a story that we've told ourselves and each other. And so really identifying ways on how companies that have grown to be so large and successful, how they have taken storytelling and been able to apply it to building out their awareness, consideration and lead generation and conversions, ultimately to have lifetime value of their customers. We're not necessarily selling a product by any means, but we are giving people an opportunity to, what I feel is, be given the same gift I felt like I was given, which was an awareness and a set of values around aligning how I show up in the world and aligning them to the values that I have on a day to day basis." – Arash Yomtobian   Most people don't change the way they eat overnight. It usually starts with something small. They see something they can't quite forget. They start wondering where their food comes from. They switch the milk in their coffee, eat a little less meat, or learn something about factory farming that makes it hard to look at dinner in quite the same way again. Arash Yomtobian believes those moments matter. He is the CEO of Mercy for Animals, and after years of working in technology, he thinks a lot about how we reach people, not just the people who already agree with us, but everyone else. Because if we want to change a food system that causes suffering on an almost unimaginable scale, we need a movement big enough to change it. And that means meeting people where they are, telling better stories and moving beyond the idea that you have to be all in before you're welcome. In this conversation. Arash and I talk about what it actually takes to change people and systems. https://mercyforanimals.org/
