Welcome to the fifth series in the annual podcast programme from Academic Archers, bringing you papers from our 2024 conference.This episode examines the many ways animals shape life in Ambridge and what their stories reveal about both farming practice and human relationships.“It's a ferret ferris wheel!”: Depictions of Human–Animal Interactions and Animal Welfare in The Archers - Tamzin Furtado and Tamsin DurstonAnimals are central to Ambridge life, whether as livestock, wildlife or family pets. This paper explores how The Archers uses animals to convey messages about farming practice, ethics, personality and community.Examples range from Mia's veganism and the disruption of the Ambridge Hunt, to Lilian's unruly Ruby, Peggy's demanding Hilda Ogden, Pip's herbal lays, Freddie's abattoir stint and the Rewilding project. The paper also considers how real-world issues such as the 2021 pig slaughter crisis and equine obesity are reflected in the programme, alongside the grief of losing beloved animals like Stella's dog Weaver or Bartleby the horse.Through these depictions, the paper invites listeners to recognise the role of nonhuman animal actors in shaping the village's stories and our understanding of Ambridge residents.About the speakersDr Tamzin Furtado and Tamsin Durston - The Tams of The Am - both work in animal welfare science with a focus on the intersection of human and animal wellbeing and are equally devoted to life in Ambridge.If you enjoy our work and would like to support Academic Archers, you can Buy Us a Coffee – buymeacoffee.com/academicarchers.

Starting with Punggol, The Straits Times looks at how a city in nature can co-exist with wildlife. Synopsis: Every first and third Tuesday of the month, The Straits Times analyses the beat of the changing environment, from biodiversity conservation to climate change. In recent months, a globally endangered monkey has unsettled Singapore’s youngest housing estate Punggol, with dozens of reports made against long-tailed macaques for entering human homes. In turn, the authorities have responded to the wild monkeys, which are not considered threatened in the Republic, with an arsenal of measures that range from sterilisation to pelting them with water gel guns, a move that made headlines in August. Following ST’s award-winning Green Trails podcast, co-hosts Ang Qing and Shabana Begum return to discuss human-wildlife coexistence in Singapore with Mr Kalaivanan Balakrishnan, chief executive of the Animal Concerns Research and Education Society (Acres) and Ms Jasvic Lye, campaign manager of Our Wild Neighbours, an outreach initiative. Find out more about how solutions to manage urban wildlife – and people’s acceptance of the animals – can be improved.

Starting with Punggol, The Straits Times looks at how a city in nature can co-exist with wildlife. Synopsis: Every first and third Tuesday of the month, The Straits Times analyses the beat of the changing environment, from biodiversity conservation to climate change. SINGAPORE - In recent months, a globally endangered monkey has unsettled Singapore’s youngest housing estate Punggol, with dozens of reports made against long-tailed macaques for entering human homes. In turn, the authorities have responded to the wild monkeys, which are not considered threatened in the Republic, with an arsenal of measures that range from sterilisation to pelting them with water gel guns, a move that made headlines in August. These solutions, however, are just a matter of playing “catch up” with a situation that could have been anticipated as the northern neighbourhood was once forested land, wildlife rescue veteran Kalaivanan Balakrishnan told The Straits Times during a podcast recording published on Sept 3. The chief executive of the Animal Concerns Research and Education Society (Acres) said: “In the case of Punggol, we should have known at least a decade ago, when the developments were happening, that one day, this will happen because back then, there were already macaques there.” Following ST’s award-winning Green Trails podcast, co-hosts Ang Qing and Shabana Begum return to discuss human-wildlife coexistence in Singapore with Mr Kalaivanan and Ms Jasvic Lye, campaign manager of Our Wild Neighbours, an outreach initiative.

Amie Souza Reilly bought an old house in the suburbs. She had just gotten remarried and was looking forward to a new start with her new husband and her six-year-old son. But immediately after moving in, the next-door neighbors began a crusade to push them out. The two brothers followed her, peered in her windows, stood in her yard, trapped her inside her car. As they broke boundary after suburban boundary, she found herself implicated in their violence. Human/Animal merges personal narrative and cultural criticism to unleash the complicated relationship between instinct and action, violence and regret. This bestiary-in-essays wrestles American colonialism, horror films, feminism, and gender studies to confront the intrusive neighbors the author could not. Ultimately, this book asks larger questions about proximity, care, and the line between human and animal. Illustrated with the author's own sketches, Human/Animal: A Bestiary in Essays (Wilfrid Laurier University Press, 2025) grapples not only with Reilly's place in her neighborhood, but with America's past and current political climate. Amie Souza Reilly is an American writer and artist from Milford, Connecticut. She holds an MA in Literature from Fordham University and an MFA in Creative Nonfiction Fairfield University. Her writing has appeared in Catapult, Atticus Review, SmokeLong Quarterly, and elsewhere. She teaches and is the Writer-in-Residence at Sacred Heart University.

Why do domesticated animals develop white fur? Why do they get floppy ears? My German shepherd excluded. Surprisingly, these seemingly random traits are common indicators of domestication and friendliness. But how does this relate to us humans?Today I'm speaking with Richard Wrangham, a distinguished primatologist and professor at Harvard University, whose influential research has deeply reshaped our understanding of human evolution. Wrangham has popularized the intriguing concept of “self-domestication” through extensive academic work and especially his acclaimed book, The Goodness Paradox: The Strange Relationship Between Virtue and Violence in Human Evolution (Profile books 2019).According to Wrangham, self-domestication is an evolutionary process where humans gradually evolved by selecting against impulsive aggression, making us more cooperative, social, and even influencing our moral decisions. Yet, paradoxically, he explains that this increased peacefulness coexists with an undiminished capacity for carefully planned violence, like warfare. We are, he argues, remarkably peaceful in daily interactions, yet simultaneously capable of organizing lethal aggression on a massive scale.In our conversation, we delve into what self-domestication truly involves, what bonobos and chimpanzees reveal about our behavior, and why understanding both reactive and proactive aggression is crucial today. Wrangham challenges many common assumptions about human nature, offering insightful explanations for both the peaceful cooperation and conflict seen in our societies.This discussion matters because it encourages us to reconsider our assumptions about what it means to be human, providing deeper insights into our past, our current social dynamics, and potentially, our future.Prenumerera eller stötta Rak högerI takt med att fler blir betalande prenumeranter har Rak höger kunnat expandera med fler skribenter och mer innehåll.

Japan has approved experiments to create human-animal embryos, also known as chimeras. The goal of these experiments is to grow human organs inside animals for transplant into humans. Human stem cells are injected into an animal embryo that lacks a specific organThe embryo is implanted into a surrogate animal for gestationThe resulting animal has organs made of human cellsHiromitsu Nakauchi is a stem-cell scientist at the University of Tokyo and Stanford University who leads the research.  This research could revolutionize organ transplants, which are in high demand due to a shortage of donor organs. Some worry that human cells could affect the animal's brain development, potentially creating beings with advanced cognitive abilitiesOthers argue that these experiments defy the natural order and challenge moral and religious beliefs

The Animalising Affliction of Nebuchadnezzar in Daniel 4: Reading Across the Human-Animal Boundary (Bloomsbury, 2022) is a detailed investigation into the nature of Nebuchadnezzar's animalising affliction in Daniel 4 and the degree to which he is depicted as actually becoming an animal. Peter Atkins examines two predominant lines of interpretation: either Nebuchadnezzar undergoes a physical metamorphosis of some kind into an animal form; or diverse other readings that specifically preclude or deny an animal transformation of the king. By providing an extensive study of these interpretative opinions, alongside innovative assessments of ancient Mesopotamian divine-human-animal boundaries, Atkins ultimately demonstrates how neither of these traditional interpretations best reflect the narrative events. While there have been numerous metamorphic interpretations of Daniel 4, these are largely reliant upon later developments within the textual tradition and are not present in the earliest edition of Nebuchadnezzar's animalising affliction. Atkins' study displays that when Daniel 4 is read in the context of Mesopotamian texts, which appear to conceive of the human-animal boundary as being indicated primarily in relation to possession or lack of the divine characteristic of wisdom, the affliction represents a far more significant categorical change from human to animal than has hitherto been identified.

While there have been numerous metamorphic interpretations of Daniel 4, these are largely reliant upon later developments within the textual tradition and are not present in the earliest edition of Nebuchadnezzar's animalising affliction. Atkins' study displays that when Daniel 4 is read in the context of Mesopotamian texts, which appear to conceive of the human-animal boundary as being indicated primarily in relation to possession or lack of the divine characteristic of wisdom, the affliction represents a far more significant categorical change from human to animal than has hitherto been identified.

Send us a textThings get disinhibited on Talking Scared this week, when CJ Leede joins us for a conversation about her new novel, American Rapture. The novel plunges middle America into a torrid apocalypse, as a sexual plague spreads across the nation, creating “lust hell on earth.” In this framework, C.J crafts a story of sexual awakening, sacrifice, found family, hypocrisy and cruelty.  It's a book that is both extreme and comforting in equal measure. We talk about that crazy balancing act, about the threat of fundamentalist thought, the terror of demons, the delights of Americana, and the cathartic power of killing your characters.  Oh…and gear up for some very forthright opinions on religion.  Enjoy. Other books mentioned: Maeve Fly (2023), by C.J.

As the material that makes all living things what/who we are, DNA is the key to understanding and changing the world. British geneticist Bryan Sykes and Francis Collins, director of the Human Genome Project, explain how, through gene editing, scientists can better treat illnesses, eradicate diseases, and revolutionize personalized medicine. But existing and developing gene editing technologies are not without controversies. A major point of debate deals with the idea that gene editing is overstepping natural and ethical boundaries. Just because they can, does that mean that scientists should edit DNA? Harvard professor Glenn Cohen introduces another subcategory of gene experiments: mixing human and animal DNA. "The question is which are okay, which are not okay, why can we generate some principles," Cohen says of human-animal chimeras and arguments concerning improving human life versus morality. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TRANSCRIPT: 0:00 Intro 0:41 Bryan Sykes, What We Need to Know About Genes 3:24 Francis Collins, Linking Genes to Disease 8:39 Glenn Cohen, Crossing Human Genes With Animals BRYAN SYKES: Genetics and DNA does get to the central issue of what makes us tick. It's perhaps too determinist to say that your genes determine everything you do. They don't, but, if you like, it's like the deck of cards that you're dealt at birth. What you do with that deck, like any card game, depends a lot on your choices, but it is influenced by those cards, those genes that you got when you were born. What I've enjoyed about genetics is looking to see what it tells us about where we've come from because those pieces of DNA, they came from somewhere. They weren't just sort of plucked out of the air. They came from ancestors. And it's a very good way of finding out about your ancestors, not only who they are, but just imagining their lives. You're made up of DNA from thousands and millions of ancestors who've lived in the past, most of them now dead, but they've survived, they've got through, they've passed their DNA onto their children, and it's come down to you. It doesn't matter who you are. You could be the President. You could be the Prime Minister. You could be the head of a big corporation. You could be a taxi driver. You could be someone who lives on the street. But the same is true of everybody. I can see a time, long after I've gone but when, in fact, everyone will know their relationship to everybody else. It is possible, if anybody wants to do it or can afford it, you could actually, I think, draw the family tree of the entire world by linking up the segments of DNA. So you could find out in what way everyone was related to everybody else. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

We are all animals. This is what many want to ignore. In this episode, I will explain how this creates a wall between you and reality and how to notice this wall once again.

This week, we delve into the story of a woman who started out as a successful bodybuilder, and transferred that into notoriety by her many, many appearances on The Howard Stern show. Wrestling was the natural next step, and she was employed by WWE, ECW & others.

In the book, “The Recovery of the True Self,” psychiatrist Robert Phillips states that “all of the animals other than the human animal have an uncomplicated family-life. “Child-rearing” among those animals looks rather simple and straightforward. The offspring are born, they are faithfully fed and fiercely protected for a while, then they are sent out into the world, apparently without sentiment or strings attached.” We are all in a stage of development and it is important for us to take responsibility for our own power and actions, because we are constantly moving toward or away from healthy behaviors in every moment. Phillips adds that we attempt to naturally be who we are, and we are often conflicted about this: “The answer is to feel and deal.” For example, many of us received contradictory messages such as Don't Be a Child and Don't Grow Up at the same time. The appropriate message, which a bird conveys to a baby bird, is, “move out of the nest when you are ready.” Children are now being increasingly scripted by the virtual world. Susan Linn's book, “Who's Raising the Kids?”, outlines the problems of being fed animated information: “More direction from outside means less access to the inner life of imagination and emotion.” Linn (2022) continues: “…a culture that immerses children in consumerism is doing a lousy job of teaching them to value what matters most: meaningful human relationships, love and kindness, awe and wonder, creativity, a connection with nature, and a deep appreciation for that which can't be packaged, bought, or sold.” Wilhelm Reich, MD emphasized the mystical and mechanistic aspects of authoritarian society that are transposed from the culture to the parent figures who inculcate the children with: “Human needs are formed, altered, and, in particular, suppressed by society; this process establishes the psychic structure of man.” We are not born with a character structure; it is imposed, and we make adaptive decisions and strategies based on that imposition. We are not born a “human being,” we become one, which in effect destroys our naturalness: “…small children who do not have any sense of shame or disgrace in connection with excretory functions also have no basis in later life on which to develop such genital disturbances.” (Reich, 1934; p. 257) The infant is not “armored”, which means they do not have an ego or character structure. This formation obstructs and reduces the flow of emotional life energy (blocked). For Reich ,“Man is born free, yet he goes through life as slave.” He adds, “The Kingdom of God [grace, goodness, inner freedom, unitedness] is within you. It was born with you.” Therefore, emotion is the basic energy of life for the human animal (i.e., qi). We must relationally meet fear with reassurance (soothing) and meet sadness with human comfort (holding): “When a child (or adult) is fearful about something in the future (five minutes from now, or Judgment Day, or the possibility of a hurricane) he needs reassurance from accurate statistical information and instructions about safety and recovery.” (Phillips, 1995; p. 157) Instead of reassurance and embodied experience, corporate culture sells appearance and consumption (buying) as means and ends: “Platforms popular with teens and preteens, like Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube, teach kids to sell themselves—if not for money, then for virtual approval in the form of “likes,” “shares,” “friends,” and “followers.” (Linn, 2022; p. 72) Materialism, individualism, and competition are instantiated in the culture. This is what Linn calls the “hyper-commercialization” of children. The mythical idea that possessions equal happiness. Additionally, Big Tech is hooking both children and their parents via “ed-tech.” However, “excessive screen time is harmful to children's health and development.” (e.g., diminished language development). The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends 0 minutes of screen time for babies up to 18 months...

Mike Fitch is an innovative fitness educator and movement coach with 20 years of experience in the fitness industry. He is the Founder/Creator of Animal Flow, a unique ground-based movement program that has certified more than 10,000 fitness professionals in 42 countries. Mike has also developed multiple other skills-based bodyweight training programs including the Bodyweight Athlete and is a highly sought-after presenter and content contributor. Mike spent years exploring and coaching a range of techniques including Kettlebells, Olympic Lifts, Corrective Exercise, and pre/post rehabilitation. However, it wasn't until he turned 30 years told that he decided to put down the weights and explore only bodyweight disciplines. He describes his change in training as a major turning point in his personal and professional development: “I had reached a point where I decided that I was way too young to feel so beat up all the time. There was something that I had been missing.” Beginning with basic gymnastics, Mike found himself both incredibly challenged and inspired. Gymnastics soon lead to parkour, which lead to breakdancing and then hand balancing. A common thread that ran throughout these disciplines is the use of animal movements (locomotion) along with the emphasis of “flow.” Mike is always the first to admit that he didn't create animal movements. He sees his contribution to the discipline as having created a systematized program that makes the movements easy to learn and easy to coach for people of all ages and skill levels. Building upon his previous understanding of body mechanics, anatomy, and common postural issues, he developed specific ways to integrate animal patterns and other bodyweight-focused movements to elicit specific responses and results. His goal was to use these animal movements to improve the function and communication of the Human Animal. When it came to incorporating the Flow component, Mike found the feeling of free and potentially endless movement to be incredibly empowering. He knew that others would feel the same immediate connection he did. In putting it all together, he created the Animal Flow program and its global community of inspired movers. Today Mike remains dedicated to the various bodyweight-based disciplines, but still draws upon his accumulated knowledge to develop new training programs. You'll see him integrating kettlebells, VIPRs and other heavy weights into his multi-disciplinary training regimes.   Listen to this episode of The MOVEMENT Movement with Mike Fitch about how Animal Flow can lead to improved movement.   Here are some of the beneficial topics covered on this week's show: - How Animal Flow helps people reconnect with their bodies and addresses deficits in physical attributes. - Why you should push yourself out of your comfort zone to stimulate growth and train the body to adapt to new challenges. - How focusing on discomfort in the learning process creates new neural pathways and improves performance over time. - How engaging in Animal Flow movements results in significant improvements in cognitive markers and joint repositioning sense. - How incorporating variety and variability in traditional movement patterns enhances overall motional.

Well, this one is certainly a blast from the past! On this episode, we are extremely excited to welcome journalist and author, Amy Sutherland! Chris first met Amy 21 years ago (!) when she came to spend time with him and his classmates at Moorpark College's (then-named) Exotic Animal Training and Management Program (aka "EATM") to do research for what would become a book about the program (Kicked, Bitten, and Scratched: Life and Lessons at the World's Premier School for Exotic Animal Trainers). A few years later, this lead to a widely-acclaimed New York Times article about how Amy applied the animal training principles she'd learned to her husband, which shortly thereafter lead to another amazing book about the power of using good operant conditioning techniques with the fellow humans in our lives (What Shamu Taught Me About Life, Love, and Marriage: Lessons for People from Animals and Their Trainers). We had a great time catching up with Amy to chat about what it was like getting a crash course in "our world," getting her perspective on the importance of what we do, and asking us some great questions about our hopes for the future of the field.  Shout outs in this episode: NEI's own, Steve Martin!

Welcome to the Deeper you go the Weirder it gets. I am your host Garett Renon. This episode is about pondering the question as to why we, the human animal, can't seem to get along with each other. For all of human history, at least the history we have been told, is that humans have been fighting with each other since the beginning of time? We fight over land, over resources, over ideas. Why? Shouldn't we know better? I mean if we are smart enough to fake the moon landing surely we are smart enough to figure out a way to live in harmony on a planet of abundance, right?

Musician and composer Charlie Rauh recently completed a first-of-its-kind artist's residency at the LSU School of Veterinary Medicine.   Rauh spent a month observing practitioners and their animal patients at LSU last summer. The result is Theoria, a 13-track album released last month that explores the human-animal relationship.  Jeff Landry officially became Louisiana's governor today, after his inauguration was pushed up to Sunday due to weather concerns. In light of the transition of power, we look back at the state's political history and bring you the story of Louisiana's — and the nation's — first Black lieutenant governor.Oscar Dunn became the first African American to be elected lieutenant governor of any state during Reconstruction in 1868. He served as acting governor on two separate occasions when then-Gov. Henry Clay Warmoth had to leave the state to recuperate from foot injuries.  Back in 2018, the TriPod team looked into the story of Oscar Dunn. At a time when our nation was tearing down old monuments of defamed political leaders, Laine Kaplan Levenson explored the monument that was supposed to be erected of Dunn in Louisiana in the late 1800s, but never came to be.

“Our bodies have co-evolved over millennia with the help of all these other beautiful animal species, with the millions of species of bacteria, fungi, and viruses that live on our bodies and inside our bodies.” – Parneet Pal   This episode is a little bit different than what we usually do at Species Unite. We are still talking about an animal, but this time it's the human animal.  Parneet Pal is an educator, science communicator and wellbeing expert working at the intersection of business, lifestyle medicine (nutrition, exercise, sleep, stress management, mental and emotional health) and behavior change.  A Harvard- and Columbia-trained physician, she looks for the connections and interdependence within human and planetary systems that make them resilient and regenerative. Her work is focused on solutions for business leadership that architect the future of an equitable society: a wellbeing economy where health is the default.   Parneet is the very first guest to come on the show to talk about humans. In many ways I don't find it all that much different because we're in just as much peril as most of the non-human animals across the globe. We are in a massive crisis, well, many of them and just like our non-human animal friends, we are also in desperate need of solutions.     LINKS for Parneet Pal: https://www.parneetpal.com/ LinkedIn Twitter
