Podcasts about animals

Enjoy this week's highlights of The Mens Room!

The earth is facing a biodiversity crisis, and there's a lot of attention on species that are threatened, or at risk of dying out completely. But, there's another critter category that's a little more mysterious: species that are “lost to science.” This means scientists aren't quite sure how many of them there are out there—or if there are any left at all. Producer Kathleen Davis talks to biologist Matt Forister, who is so dedicated to finding more information about these lost species that he created a whole scientific journal about them. Plus, 28 of the 178 firefly species in the United States and Canada are currently lost to science, according to the community science project Firefly Atlas. We're joined by firefly researcher Candace Fallon, who is working to confirm which firefly butts are still blinking and which have burnt out. Want to help find fireflies near you? Find out how to participate in the Firefly Atlas. Guests: Dr. Matt Foristor is a professor of biology at the University of Nevada-Reno and editor-in-chief of the Journal of Lost Species. Candace Fallon is a senior endangered species conservation biologist at the Xerces Society for Invertebrate Conservation.

In Day 191 of The Ways of the Righteous (Gate of Fear of Heaven), Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe explains that while human beings are given dominion over creation, that authority carries responsibility. Animals were created to serve mankind—not because they are unimportant, but because humanity possesses something infinitely greater: an eternal soul. We are commanded to treat animals with compassion and even feed them before ourselves, yet our unique role is to elevate creation through our relationship with Hashem.Rabbi Wolbe emphasizes the extraordinary greatness of the neshamah. Before birth, the soul exists in a realm of perfect spiritual clarity, but at birth it becomes enclosed within a physical body. The crying of a newborn symbolizes the soul's transition from unlimited closeness to Hashem into a world of confusion and physical limitations. Throughout life, the soul longs to return to that closeness, while the body constantly seeks physical gratification. Our task is to allow the soul—not the body—to direct our choices.Using the metaphor of a rider and a horse, Rabbi Wolbe teaches that the neshamah must hold the reins while the body serves merely as its vehicle. The body is necessary to perform mitzvot and acts of kindness, but it must remain subordinate to the soul's higher purpose. When the soul guides the body, every physical action becomes elevated into something eternal.The lesson also explores why Judaism teaches the future resurrection of the dead. Both the soul and the body contribute to a life of righteousness: the soul inspires holiness, while the body performs the mitzvot. Therefore, both ultimately share in the eternal reward when they are reunited in the World to Come.Finally, Rabbi Wolbe explains that the vast universe—the sun, moon, stars, and all of creation—exists not for the temporary body but for the eternal soul. Every aspect of creation is designed to inspire us to recognize Hashem's greatness and draw closer to Him. The purpose of enjoying this world is not indulgence but elevation: to use every blessing Hashem gives us as a means of strengthening our relationship with Him._____________This Podcast Series is Generously Underwritten by Peter & Becky BotvinRecorded at TORCH Centre in the Levin Family Studios (B) to a live audience on February 23, 2026, in Houston, Texas.Released as Podcast on August 14, 2026_____________This series on Orchos Tzadikim/Ways of the Righteous is produced in partnership with Hachzek.Join the revolution of daily Mussar study at hachzek.com.We are using the Treasure of Life edition of the Orchos Tzadikkim (Published by Feldheim)_____________Listen, Subscribe & Share: Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/jewish-inspiration-podcast-rabbi-aryeh-wolbe/id1476610783Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4r0KfjMzmCNQbiNaZBCSU7) to stay inspired! Share your questions at aw@torchweb.org or visit torchweb.org for more Torah content.  _____________About the Host:Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe, Director of TORCH in Houston, brings decades of Torah scholarship to guide listeners in applying Jewish wisdom to daily life.  To directly send your questions, comments, and feedback, please email: awolbe@torchweb.org_____________Support Our Mission:Our Mission is Connecting Jews & Judaism.

The heartbreak of having an animal companion is knowing that one day you'll have to say goodbye. Join the Human-Animal Spiritual Network for a discussion of the many lessons animals have taught us about death & dying.Presented by the Human-Animal Spiritual NetworkWebsite: https://hasnetwork.org/-----The Human-Animal Spiritual Network grew out of the Multispecies Intuitive Interspecies Symposium, hosted by the University of Saskatchewan in 2023. Following the symposium, a group of veterinarians and animal communicators met regularly over the next two years to explore the deeper spiritual dimensions of our relationships with animals.Our vision was to create a safe, supportive community where animal professionals could deepen their understanding of animal consciousness and spirituality while finding encouragement for the emotional, physical, and spiritual challenges that often accompany a life devoted to animal care.During our time together, we recorded many thoughtful conversations on topics including animal consciousness, sentience, interspecies connection, and the joys and challenges of being both an animal caregiver and a spiritual seeker.Although the Human-Animal Spiritual Network has since come to an end, the wisdom and insights that emerged from these discussions remain relevant. Our website - which you can still visit - contains a wealth of valuable resources, including all of these recorded conversations.Through this podcast series, we will feature one conversation each month, making these meaningful discussions easy to access. Each episode is approximately 15–20 minutes long, offering thoughtful reflections that we hope will deepen your understanding, nurture your spirit, and inspire a deeper understanding and appreciation for your relationship with animals of all kinds.

Join Rob McConnell as he welcomes Claudia Hehr, animal communicator, author, and speaker whose work explores the fascinating possibility of communication between humans and animals. Through what she describes as intuitive or telepathic communication, Claudia believes animals have thoughts, emotions, personalities, and messages that humans can learn to recognize when they become more receptive to the ways animals communicate. Through The Voice of Animals, Claudia encourages people to reconsider their relationship with the animals who share their lives. She discusses her experiences communicating with pets and other animals and explains how she believes information can be exchanged beyond ordinary body language, vocalizations, and learned behavior. While claims of telepathic animal communication are not established by mainstream science, Claudia's experiences offer an intriguing perspective on the emotional connections that can develop between humans and animals. During this fascinating conversation, Rob and Claudia explore animal communication, intuition, telepathy, consciousness, spirituality, and the human-animal bond. They discuss whether animals can communicate specific thoughts, how Claudia interprets the impressions she receives, and whether ordinary people can learn to become more sensitive to their animals. The conversation also considers grief following the loss of a beloved pet and claims that communication with animals may continue after physical death. Can animals communicate with us in ways science has yet to understand, or are these experiences better explained through observation, intuition, and the extraordinarily close bonds humans develop with their pets? Whether you're an animal lover, skeptic, spiritual seeker, or simply curious about animal consciousness, this episode of The 'X' Zone Radio Show invites you to listen carefully to The Voice of Animals.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-x-zone-radio-tv-show--1078348/support.Please note that all CANCOM/XZBN radio and/or television shows are Copyright © REL-MAR McConnell Meda Company, Niagara, Ontario, Canada – www.rel-mar.com.

This week on Veterinary Ramblings, Mike Brampton and Julian Hoad are joined by Dr. Marc Abraham to explore animal welfare, grassroots campaigning, legislation, and the power of education to create meaningful change.The episode dives into Marc's work as a vet, animal advocate and author, from visiting schools and literary festivals with his children's book to his work exposing puppy farming through the documentary "Dogspiracy". He shares insights from going undercover in Amish puppy mills in Pennsylvania and how the film helped open new educational conversations with breeders and veterinary professionals.Marc also reflects on the decade-long grassroots campaign behind Lucy's Law, which brought an end to commercial third-party sales of puppies and kittens in the UK. He explains why legislation is only the beginning, creating the framework needed for enforcement, investigation and prosecution.The conversation also explores what makes political campaigning effective, the role of APDAWG in bringing grassroots voices into Parliament, and why patience, collaboration and giving policymakers practical solutions can be more powerful than confrontation.From animal welfare legislation to veterinary-client relationships, Marc also discusses the difficult conversations vets face when treating animals affected by extreme breeding, and why keeping communication open is essential to protecting the animal in front of them. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

As the summer heat sets in, many of us are looking for ways to beat the heat, but have you ever wondered how our furry friends at the Denver Zoo are staying cool? In this episode, we're joined by Jake Kubie, the director of Communications for the Denver Zoo, to talk about the innovative ways they're keeping their animals comfortable in the scorching temperatures. The Denver Zoo is home to over 3,000 individual animals and 450 different species, representing every corner of the globe. With some animals hailing from hot climates, the zoo takes extra precautions to ensure their well-being. One of the key strategies is giving animals the option to choose their own temperature, allowing them to move freely between indoor and outdoor habitats. This might mean that some animals are indoors when visitors are expecting to see them, but the zoo's top priority is always the animals' safety and comfort. The zoo's Tropical Discovery Exhibit, a temperature-controlled building that's home to many of the zoo's snakes, reptiles, amphibians, and fish. This exhibit is a must-see, and Jake shares some fascinating stories about the animals that thrive in the heat, like the bighorn sheep and Asian elephants. We also hear about the creative ways the zoo keeps its animals cool, from making ice treats to providing large pools for the elephants to play in. If you're a Denver Zoo fan or just looking for ways to support your local community, this episode is a must-listen. Join us as we chat with Jake about the zoo's efforts to keep its animals cool and happy, and learn more about the importance of prioritizing animal welfare.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Human childbirth is often difficult and incredibly painful—just ask anyone who's been through it. And for a long time, childbirth seemed to be uniquely difficult for humans. But a new study suggests that we aren't alone: Some small primates birth offspring whose heads are nearly twice the size of the mother's pelvic area.   So how do those primates go through difficult childbirths? Why didn't evolution make ours any easier? And what can this tell us about humankind? Flora explores these questions and more with anthropologist Lia Betti. Guest: Dr. Lia Betti is an associate professor of anthropology at University College London in the UK. Transcripts for each episode are available within 1-3 days at sciencefriday.com.

Send us Fan MailPermit me to tell a very short story about something that really happened. Years ago, I saw Chuck Berry live at the Paramount Theatre in Manhattan. I later learned that a few years after that, the Paramount Theater was completely shut down.  Anyway, that night Chuck Berry was on a bill with The Animals and The Dixie Cups—a lineup that already told you how fast the musical world was changing.  The British Invasion bands were arriving with their sharp suits and American R&B records tucked under their arms. In fact, the animals had the number one song in the country with the house of the rising Sun. And there were girl groups with immaculate harmonies. The Dixie Cups had the number two song in the country with chapel of love.  Here was a crowd already fluent in the new language of pop.And then one of rock's pioneers - Chuck Berry - walked onstage.No elaborate light show, no army of amplifiers, no sentimental introduction. Just that stance, that sly half-smile, and a guitar tone as clean and cutting as a bell. You could feel the air in the room shift. Whether the audience could have put it into words or not, they were looking at the source material—the man whose songs and style had already soaked into the bones of the acts beside him on the poster.Support the showThank you for experiencing Celebrate Creativity.

Can animals sense when we need them most? This week on Paranormal Pets, Brandy Stark welcomes back Ellie Laks, founder of The Gentle Barn, to celebrate her new children's book, Gentle, and explore the extraordinary emotional and spiritual connections between animals and children. Ellie shares the remarkable true story of John Lewis, a calf rescued from a slaughterhouse who was gravely ill but, surrounded by love, veterinary care and the companionship of a dog named Skye, grew into a thriving 2,500-pound "grass puppy." She also recounts the deeply moving story of a troubled teenager whose life was transformed through her bond with John Lewis and the animals at The Gentle Barn. From cows that seem to instinctively know whether someone needs laughter, comfort or simply a quiet presence, to the healing power of kindness itself, this episode is a beautiful reminder that sometimes the animals in our lives understand far more than we realize.EPISODE NOTES: When Animals Know Exactly What We NeedBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/paranormal-pets-ghostly-encounters-with-past-pets-pets-animals-on-pet-life-radio--6668039/support.

Today is August 8th, the peak of the Lion’s Gate Portal. This is a powerful energetic gateway inviting you to reconnect with your own inner wisdom, release what no longer serves you, and align with the life your soul calls for. It’s a time to open yourself to new possibilities and I recommend opening to the magic that’s all around you. To celebrate this day, I’m sharing my own story of how my soul called to me about magic. The Word Is Magic It began with a single word. Magic. But you know that's not just any word. Magic is a noun, a verb, a way of life. Magic holds the universe together and keeps the planets circling the sun. Even if you can't quite see or hear or touch magic, you know without question that it is there. Magic is real. At least to some people, like me. During Covid, I felt its pull. Magic beckoned me and I heeded the call. I stumbled on a magic coach who started me with simple things. I loved it. My favorite magic was with a sugar bowl, stirring sweetness into your life. I felt a little bit like Mary Poppins with her spoonful of sugar that made the medicine go down in the most delightful way. But I didn't need any medicine. I just needed the magic. Friday is Freya’s Day My coach suggested I pick a Goddess to work with and meditate with her every week. She said that Friday was Freya's day and somehow that felt perfect. I chose Freya, or maybe she chose me. From Norse mythology, Freya is the Goddess of love and war, beauty, fertility, and magic. Oh, of course she is. What a surprise that I felt drawn to her. So, I began a ritual where every Friday, I took a bath to cleanse my energy. I smudged my home to clear that as well. And once complete, I would sit in my chair to meditate and connect with the Goddess Freya. It didn't take too many tries before I enjoyed a visit from the Goddess herself. She came to me with outstretched arms and a smile. I wasn't sure what would happen as she moved closer to me, but I stayed open and quite curious. Freya came with healing in mind. She worked on my energy body, clearing and removing old energy, no longer wanted or needed. I could feel the change as a lightness lifted me. While I'm not sure how, something released and I felt free for the first time since…Well, I'm not sure I can even identify such a time. The result were expressed in my art journal piece. I felt free to be my magical self. That me had wings and a very big heart. There were colorful clouds behind me and glittering chunks of rose quartz before me. I smiled brightly at this image once it was finished and still do today as it hangs on my wall. Over time, I came to realize that I had been prevented from connecting with my magic by so many things. I discovered one vow after another, binding me and supposedly keeping me safe from interacting with magic. I must not talk about magic. I must not use any magic. I must not teach or share any magic. I must hide my magic. I don't know why I made these vows. Was this for my highest good? Was I coerced into these vows by another? I cannot say with any true clarity. But every time I found a vow, the need to shake free was undeniable and overwhelming. And I did, releasing every vow I came upon. So, as a result, I became even freer. Bypassing the Obstacles Magic is boundless, so I found my way around the preventive measures that were meant to keep me apart from this universal life force. Magic is for everyone, of this, I am sure. It's a natural force waiting for us to discover and interact with. Magic is here to help us live the life we want and to do good things in the world. It is the secret to living a rich full life that's fun and satisfying. At a craft fair, I bought photographs of letters, captured from architectural elements. Each letter is a different image but put together, they spelled the word MAGIC in the most creative way. I hung the word over my office door. Every time I enter, I now enter the magic. I took a course on blessings. Day one was the blessing of abundance. Day two was good health. Day three was peace. Day four was happiness. Day five was different. I don't remember what the teacher suggested, but my own blessing welled up within me to be brought forth divinely – I live in the magic. While I had signed up for a 30-day program, I could go no further. What was a bigger blessing than to live in the magic? I've lived there ever since. A simple song I had created years back came to me out of the blue. I started to sing it again while I took my daily walk. It's a short song in a minor key but creates an uplifting feeling. Here are the words: “Life is magical, life is magical, the universe is magic and the magic starts with me. As I open my heart, and expand it trustingly, the Universe does respond to me.” Absolute gold. When did this come to me? I could not remember. Magical Experiences My life continued with discoveries and experiences that could be defined in no other way than simply magical. Moments that add so much joy and wisdom. Getting a message from my honeysuckle vine, pointing out that I was missing out on joy and to open my awareness wider. Seeing a three-inch boot print that depressed the grass in my front yard as I planted flowers. An elemental letting me know it was there. After expressing gratitude in the garden to the plant devas and elementals, two tiny orange moths landed on my arm and did a synchronized dance before flying off together. A friend built a fire on a summer evening and suggested we communicate with it. The fire spoke to me in poetry, describing its power and the nature of its energy. A small pile of leaves caught my attention as I walked by my neighbor's yard. They suddenly whirled upwards into the air in a surprising spiral. Claiming Magic Next, I worked with a somatic coach, who helped me release stuck emotions from my body. During this one particular session, it was the magic that came free. I claimed it. Both my hands reached up above my head to the sky and these words reverberated through my body as I spoke them: “I am magic.” Yes, I am. Do I understand my history or what separated me from my magic? Some of it maybe, but certainly not all. Yet, how interesting that it doesn't matter. I am magic and nothing can ever prevent that again. But what I have discovered and now know to be true, is that you too are magic. We are all magic. So, if you haven't yet come to this idea, or connected to your magic, but find yourself reading this curious piece of writing, know this message is meant for you. You are magic and it's time you started living as if you know that this is true. If you feel ready to connect with your inner wisdom and magic, I'd love to help you with that. Reach out to me here. Where the Magic Actually Lives Magic showed up for Ronnie during Covid, starting with something as simple as a sugar bowl — proof that reconnecting with magic doesn’t require anything dramatic. Working with a chosen goddess (Freya, for her) through weekly ritual — bath, smudging, meditation — opened the door to real energetic healing and release. Unconscious vows (“I must not talk about magic,” “I must hide my magic”) can quietly block your connection to magic until you find and release them. Magic announces itself in small synchronicities — a message from a honeysuckle vine, moths dancing on an arm, leaves spiraling upward — if you’re paying attention. The claim “I am magic” isn’t reserved for a chosen few. As Ronnie puts it, “You are magic and it’s time you started living as if you know that this is true.” FAQs What is the Lion’s Gate Portal? The Lion’s Gate Portal is an annual energetic gateway, peaking August 8th, that many spiritually minded people mark as a time for release and alignment. It’s considered a powerful window for reconnecting with inner wisdom, letting go of what no longer serves you, and opening to new possibilities. How do I start connecting with my own magic? Start small and consistent. You might choose a goddess or guide to meditate with weekly,. Build a simple ritual around it (cleansing, quiet reflection, intention, journaling), and staying open to what shows up is often enough to begin. The connection tends to deepen with repetition, not intensity. What is a soul vow, and how do I release one? A soul vow is an unconscious promise, often made for protection, that can block you from fully living. This could be a vow to hide or never share your gifts. Recognizing the vow when it surfaces and consciously releasing it is often enough to feel its grip lift. Can everyone access magic, or is it reserved for certain people? Everyone can access magic. It’s described as a natural force available to all, not a special ability limited to a few. The main barrier tends to be awareness rather than aptitude. Start to notice small synchronicities is one first step toward recognizing it. What are some signs that magic is present in daily life? Signs of magic tend to be small and easy to miss, like an unexpected message from nature or an unusual pattern in the physical world. Animals may behave in a way that feels meaningful or even noticing a sudden shift in your own emotions or energy. Paying attention is what makes them visible. { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "FAQPage", "mainEntity": [ { "@type": "Question", "name": "What is the Lion's Gate Portal?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "The Lion's Gate Portal is an annual energetic gateway, peaking August 8th, that many spiritually minded people mark as a time for release and alignment.

Beavers are back on the scene in the West London suburb of Ealing. The semi-aquatic rodents were reintroduced to a local park by conservationists three years ago - the first time they'd had the privilege of dam and lodge-building in the area in 400 years. In the time since then, the wetland and dam construction have helped with flooding in an area previously assaulted by flooding on a regular basis.

Environmental journalist, Michael Dulaney looks at viruses and bacteria that can move between bats, horses, seals, pigs, voles and even polar bears, and the conditions that lead to human infection.These diseases are known as zoonoses.Michael says climate change, urban sprawl, animal farming and even homelessness contribute to wild animals coming into ever closer contact with people, leading these illnesses to move from creatures to us.To understand how this process works, Michael has researched the volunteers dedicating their lives to conservation. He has camped out on a freezing Victorian night to try to catch ducks with a net shot from a cannon, to test them for bird flu. He has gone frog hunting in the jungles of Indonesia, and he's visited a suburban Melbourne apartment where a dedicated citizen gives up her master bedroom to a collection of injured flying foxes, while she sleeps in the spare room.Michael also explains how the curious case of Trench Fever fits into the zoonotic puzzle. It was found first in Edmonton, Canada in 2022, when patients developed a serious heart condition after they were given organs donated by homeless victims of the opioid crisis.Further informationSentinels: When diseases spread between animals and humans is published by Scribe.This episode was produced by Alice Moldovan. Conversations' Executive Producer is Nicola Harrison.This episode covers H5N1 bird flu, covid-19, pandemic, lockdown, flu, cat flu, swine flu, hendra virus, horse racing, horse trainer, fly by night bat clinic, Werribee poo ponds, necropsy, chicken farms, disease-proof pigs, PRRS, CRISPR, vaccines, vaccination, smallpox, pox virus, borealpox and northern red-backed vole.To binge even more great episodes of the Conversations podcast with Richard Fidler and Sarah Kanowski go the ABC listen app (Australia) or wherever you get your podcasts.

UFOs. Intelligent animals. Intelligent machines. There sure are a lot of unusual headlines in the news lately...and even more unusual people with big platforms providing commentary. When scientists start doing philosophy—and doing it badly—people get hurt. On this episode of The 40 Days for Life Podcast, we look at how scientists and pseudoscientists with agendas are using recent discoveries to denigrate human dignity.

Paul Yoon's "Etna" is a novel told in first dog/first person narrative form. They are all survivors making a life in a post-war-apocalyptic age.  Could "Etna" be the dog story of our time, one that goes beyond animal rights, and addresses animal voice?  And his guide as he wrote it was always his 12-year-old dog Oscar. Emil Guillermo talks with author Paul Yoon about balancing the dog world and the human world in a book about both.
