Podcast appearances and mentions of John Grogan

Paul and Erin tear up at a pair of movies about beloved dogs: the generation-traumatizing 1957 Disney classic OLD YELLER, and the 2008 adaptation of John Grogan's memoir MARLEY & ME.

The heartwarming and unforgettable story of a family and the wondrously neurotic dog who taught them what really matters in life. Is it possible for humans to discover the key to happiness through a bigger-than-life, bad-boy dog? Just ask the Grogans. John and Jenny were just beginning their life together. They were young and in love, with not a care in the world. Then they brought home Marley, a wiggly yellow furball of a puppy. Life would never be the same. Listen to Michael speak with John Grogan, author of "Marley & Me: Life and Love with the World's Worst Dog." Original air date 14 November 2006. The book was published in 2005.

In this episode, the Moms chat about their relationships to their furriest family members.  After getting listeners up to speed on Melissa's successful remodel and newly functional kitchen and Leah's hopes for returning to work as an educator in the fall, they dive into all things Dogs.  They each introduce their respective canine companions before describing the many challenges and joys of including dogs in their family dynamics, providing suggestions for getting dogs ready for a new baby, and discussing why these Moms love their pets despite the headache they so frequently create.The Book Blurb in this episode is from Marley and Me: Life and Love with the World's Worst Dog by John Grogan.  For more about the author, click here.

In this episode of Parallel Fiction, Heather and Jeff celebrate the companions we keep, and the stories that highlight their importance.  Heather and Jeff are presenting two stories about Pets, the theme of the show, and giving their honest and emotional opinions on what it means to own, raise, and bond with a pet. Heather begins the summary portion with an outline of Marley and Me, an autobiography from John Grogan.  She beings by explaining that this is not a fictional piece of work, but lets it slide as this could be anybody's story and fits the theme well.  The memoir follows the Grogan family as they experience the growing pains of owning a hyper active dog.  Heather gets very emotional talking about the last days of Marley's life, and reflects on how that's often times the worst part of owning a pet.  Did you know?  In the film adaptation, 22 dogs played the role of Marley, at different stage throughout his life. Jeff brings us back for part 2 of the summary portion of the show, outlining the 2010 computer animated classic How To Train Your Dragon.  In the story, Jeff presents the bond between main character Hiccup, and his unlikely pet and ally Toothless.  Through sweet moments between the two, the kid and dragon end up understanding each other and forming a bond that saves Hiccup's Viking village.  Jeff explains the similarities between the dragon and a cat, and appreciates how the film doesn't talk down to children, its intended audience.  Instead, the film was just as enjoyable to Jeff as an adult and for all ages. Fun Fact!  Music director John Powell was nominated for an Academy Award for his work on this film, but lost to Trent Reznor.  Not a bad loss though, as Reznor is a decorated producer with credits in the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame, the Oscars, Emmys, and Grammys. Following these reviews, Heather and Jeff dive into commonalities between the two works such as choosing a pet, responsibility, naming your pet, giving time & attention, and cherished memories. Listen in to hear Jeff and Heather's candid thoughts on the masterpiece scenes of each story, how Marley And Me and How To Train Your Dragon compare, and how Jeff and Heather relate the two. Share this episode with all the pet lovers in your life! Heather's rating for Marley And Me: Nice – If you're a pet owner, you will really enjoy this story.  The memoir moves a bit slow, the movie may be a better choice. Jeff's rating for How To Train Your Dragon: Super Nice – Even though we don't put any stock in the Rotten Tomatoe's score, this movie sits at 99% fresh as of February 2021 and has earned every bit of that. Watch How To Train Your Dragon here: https://www.amazon.com/How-Train-Your-Dragon-Collection/dp/B07NN37WHT Read Marley And Me here: https://www.amazon.com/Marley-Me-Life-Worlds-Worst/dp/0060817097 About Parallel Fiction:Parallel Fiction is the perfect supplemental companion to all of the stories you consume.

John Grogan, a metropolitan columnist at The Philadelphia Inquirer, and his wife, Jenny, were newlyweds when they brought home an irresistible yellow Labrador retriever puppy and named him after a mellow reggae star. But Marley soon would grow into a 97-pound powerhouse of nervous, pulsating intensity and mischief. Marley, the incorrigible, excitable, destructive, and intensely loyal creature that graced the Grogan home for thirteen years, was not the mellow, well-behaved pet his owners had envisioned. His slobber was legendary, his manners appalling, and his fear of thunderstorms expensive. He decimated walls, screen doors, car upholstery, and dinner parties. Evan as the Grogans tried everything to mold him to their will, Marley, with his utter devotion and unharnessed zeal for life, helped shape them into the family they would become. He was kicked out of obedience training, and the veterinarian prescribed tranquilizers to no effect. But his heart was pure. As he crashed through life, he taught two newlyweds about faithfulness and commitment, two parents about patience and perseverance, and a five-person family about the greatest gift of all- the gift of unconditional love. Award-winning journalist John Grogan is a columnist with the Philadelphia Inquirer and former metropolitan columnist and urban-sprawl reporter for the South Florida Sun-Sentinel. He is also a former editor of the magazine Organic Gardening. He lives with his family in Pennsylvania.

"Running with Sherman" by Christopher McDougall "A delight, full of heart and hijinks and humor . . . McDougall is a gifted storyteller who gets to the heart of the human-animal connection." --John Grogan, author of Marley & Me: Life and Love with the World's Worst Dog From the best-selling author of Born to Run, a heartwarming story about training a rescue donkey to run one of the most challenging races in America. When Chris McDougall agreed to take in a donkey from an animal hoarder, he thought it would be no harder than the rest of the adjustments he and his family had made after moving from Philadelphia to the heart of Pennsylvania Amish country. But when he arrived, Sherman was in such bad shape he could barely move, and his hair was coming out in clumps. Chris decided to undertake a radical rehabilitation program designed not only to heal Sherman's body but to heal his mind as well. It turns out the best way to soothe a donkey is to give it a job, and so Chris decided to teach Sherman how to run. He'd heard about burro racing--a unique type of race where humans and donkeys run together in a call-back to mining days--and decided he and Sherman would enter the World Championship in Colorado. Easier said than done. In the course of Sherman's training, Chris would have to recruit several other runners, both human and equine, and call upon the wisdom of burro racers, goat farmers, Amish running club members, and a group of irrepressible female long-haul truckers. Along the way, he shows us the life-changing power of animals, nature, and community. Our Dogs, Ourselves" by Alexandra Horowitz From Alexandra Horowitz, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Inside of a Dog, an eye-opening, informative, and wholly entertaining examination and celebration of the human-canine relationship for the curious dog owner and science-lover alike. We keep dogs and are kept by them. We love dogs and (we assume) we are loved by them. We buy them sweaters, toys, shoes; we are concerned with their social lives, their food, and their health. The story of humans and dogs is thousands of years old but is far from understood. In Our Dogs, Ourselves, Alexandra Horowitz explores all aspects of this unique and complex interspecies pairing. As Horowitz considers the current culture of dogdom, she reveals the odd, surprising, and contradictory ways we live with dogs. We celebrate their individuality but breed them for sameness. Despite our deep emotional relationships with dogs, legally they are property to be bought, sold, abandoned, or euthanized as we wish. Even the way we speak to our dogs is at once perplexing and delightful. In thirteen thoughtful and charming chapters, Our Dogs, Ourselves affirms our profound affection for this most charismatic of animals—and opens our eyes to the companions at our sides as never before.

“Such short little lives our pets have to spend with us, and they spend most of it waiting for us to come home each day. It is amazing how much love and laughter they bring into our lives and even how much closer we become with each other because of them.” John Grogan, American Author Full disclosure, if you aren’t an animal lover or don’t understand how a pet can be considered part of your family, this episode isn’t for you. The final episode of Season 1 is dedicated to Brian and Jill’s first baby, Apple, an English Bulldog. A couple of months ago, Apple passed away unexpectedly. A dedication is the least Jill could do. After all, she’s pretty much the reason why Jill started this podcast.

Afterglow (a dog memoir) (Grove Press) Prolific and widely renowned poet, novelist, and essayist Eileen Myles is a trailblazer whose decades of literary and artistic work “set a bar for openness, frankness, and variability few lives could ever match” (New York Review of Books). Afterglow (a dog memoir), Myles’ first foray into memoir, paints a kaleidoscopic portrait of a beloved confidant: the pit bull called Rosie. In 1990, Myles chose Rosie from a litter on the street, and their connection instantly became central to the writer's life and work. During the course of their sixteen years together, Myles was madly devoted to the dog’s wellbeing, especially in her final days. Starting from the emptiness following Rosie’s death, Afterglow launches a heartfelt and fabulist investigation into the true nature of the bond between pet and pet-owner. Through this lens, we witness Myles’s experiences with intimacy and spirituality, celebrity and politics, alcoholism and recovery, fathers and family history, gender, romance, memory, as well as the fantastical myths we invent to get to the heart of grief. Afterglow joins a grand literary tradition of writers paying homage to a beloved dog—J. R. Ackerley’s My Dog Tulip, Virginia Woolf’s Flush, Mary Oliver’s Dog Songs, Amy Hempel’s stories, as well as Mark Doty’s Dog Years, and even Abigail Thomas’s A Three Dog Life—but as one might suspect, Myles’ entry in the canon subverts both genre and tradition and stands apart as resolutely its own thing. Combining screenplay, monologue, science fiction, and lucid memory, the text is animated with photos, diagrams, drawings, and poems to craft a mosaic of their life together. Moving from an imaginary talk show where Rosie is interviewed by Myles’s childhood puppet, to a critical reenactment of the night Rosie mated with another pit bull; from lyrical transcriptions of their walks, to Rosie’s enlightened narration from the afterlife, Afterglow illuminates the surreal and familiar aspects of what it means to dedicate your existence to a dog. Praise for Afterglow “A rare new breed of dog memoir; think Patti’s Smith’s Just Kids, not John Grogan’s Marley and Me, absinthe not saccharine” –Library Journal (starred review) “Myles’ work is a perfect example of what happens when you mix raw language with emotion, pets with loss, and sexuality with socioculturalism. . . A captivating look at a poet’s repeated attempt ‘to dig a hole in eternity’ through language.” –Kirkus Reviews (starred review) “For more than 16 years, Myles was companioned by a pit bull named Rosie until Rosie did what dogs do and left the author to navigate a post-Rosie world, solo. In the after of Rosie, poet Myles . . . . writesthis unconventional, uncontainable, phantasmagoric memoir of dog and owner. . . . Poetic, heartrending, soothing, and funny, this is a mind-expanding contemplation of creation, the act and the noun, and the creatures whose deaths we presume will precede ours but whose lives make our own better beyond reason. To this, readers should bring tissues, pencil and paper, even their dogs.”–Annie Bostrom, Booklist (starred review) “Myles uses a pastiche approach to explore the bodily, cerebral, and esoteric/religious aspects of the grieving process, all of which is portrayed with meditative poignancy . . . Myles depicts the raw pathos of loss with keen insight.” –Publishers Weekly “A ravishingly strange and gorgeous book about a dog that’s really about life and everything there is, Eileen Myles’s Afterglow is a truly astonishing creation.”–Helen Macdonald, author of H is for Hawk Eileen Myles—who prefers to use a gender-neutral pronoun—is the author of more than twenty books, including Chelsea Girls, Cool For You, and most recently, I Must Be Living Twice: New & Selected Poems 1975-2014.

John Grogan, a metropolitan columnist at The Philadelphia Inquirer, and his wife, Jenny, were newlyweds when they brought home an irresistible yellow Labrador retriever puppy and named him after a mellow reggae star. But Marley soon would grow into a 97-pound powerhouse of nervous, pulsating intensity and mischief. Marley, the incorrigible, excitable, destructive, and intensely loyal creature that graced the Grogan home for thirteen years, was not the mellow, well-behaved pet his owners had envisioned. His slobber was legendary, his manners appalling, and his fear of thunderstorms expensive. He decimated walls, screen doors, car upholstery, and dinner parties. Evan as the Grogans tried everything to mold him to their will, Marley, with his utter devotion and unharnessed zeal for life, helped shape them into the family they would become. He was kicked out of obedience training, and the veterinarian prescribed tranquilizers to no effect. But his heart was pure. As he crashed through life, he taught two newlyweds about faithfulness and commitment, two parents about patience and perseverance, and a five-person family about the greatest gift of all- the gift of unconditional love. Award-winning journalist John Grogan is a columnist with the Philadelphia Inquirer and former metropolitan columnist and urban-sprawl reporter for the South Florida Sun-Sentinel. He is also a former editor of the magazine Organic Gardening. He lives with his family in Pennsylvania.

He also admits to sneaking his own dogs on set. Marley's trainer, Mathilde DeCagny shares lots of filming secrets with Animal Radio®.

Adopt-A-Turkey - Instead of having turkey this Thanksgiving as the main course, why not have a turkey as a guest of honor instead? World's Worst Dog with John Grogan, author of Marley & Me - Have you ever had a "bad dog" or known someone who did? John Grogan was one of these people. He had no clue when he adopted an irresistible yellow lab puppy that he would grow into a 97-pound powerhouse of nervous, pulsating intensity and mischief. Marley will make you laugh, cry and shake your head in disbelief at his antics. Pet Trusts & Clauses - Do you know that more people own pets than have children, and that they are often overlooked in wills? One of the best ways to make sure your pet is taken care of if he outlives you, is with a Pet Trust. The benefits of a Pet Trust are greater than that of a will, because a will only takes place in the event of your death, while a Pet Trust will kick-in in the event you have a serious illness or become incapacitated.
