There is something special about a Catahoula Leopard Dog! What strange and magical breed...It’s the state dog of Louisiana. And it’s celebrated in the cute children’s book by Leif Pedersen. The author himself narrates the fun-filled adventure in A Dog Named Cat, the fourth book in The Adventures of The Swamp Kids series. The Swamp Kids travel to a nearby animal shelter in hopes of finding a new pet they can adopt and bring home. They find a Louisiana Catahoula Cur puppy and learn all about him.  This podcast features a bit of “Sunbonnet Sue” performed by the Hackberry Ramblers. ….They’re called “catahoulas,” and raised up the bayou a bit. They’re really good herders, and faster than lightning. At home he will be a big hit! So now what to name their new furry friend? Lots of smiles come from this great book for animal lovers, not least the brightly colored illustrations of the swamp critters by artist Tim Banfell.

Kræftpakkeforløbene er måske Danmarks bedste politiske beslutning på sundhedsområdet, men hvordan blev den til? Det har vi snakket med Kræftens Bekæmpelses direktør, Leif Pedersen, og Peter Vedsted, forskeren bag kræftpakkerne, om. Derudover bringer vi en gennemgang af Jespers udredningsforløb. Jesper var med i DR-dokumentaren "min bedste ven har kræft", men der hører man ikke til det lange forløb op til diagnosen. Ulrik og Ida sidder bag mikrofonerne og kigger, med Leif og Peters hjælp, nærmere på hvordan det går med kræftbehandlingen i Danmark. Hvordan har effekten af de danske kræftpakkeforløb været? Hvorfor er vi stadig bagud i overlevelse sammenlignet med andre lande i norden? Hvilke fremtidige tiltag skal der til, for at vi får en bedre overlevelse? Hvordan er udsigterne med den nye kræftplan 4?

It’s Confetti Park Storytime! In this episode, we hear Louisiana-born big band leader and children’s author Leif Pedersen narrate The Missing Chord, the very first book of the Swamp Kids series. The Swamp Kids are friends and bandmates who live in Bayou Bleu near Mamou, Louisiana. Led by Pierre a le Gator on fiddle, the musical swamp kids include Mon Cher the pretty raccoon and TuTu the Turtle on washboard. There’s also a fish who keeps time by splashing his tail in the water. But they just can’t get their sounds quite right! What’s missing? Will they find it before the big Battle of the Bands contest? Sachet the Crawfish longs to join in the merry music making, but he wants to bring just the right sound to the group. Maybe he has just what the Swamp Kids need! Swamp Kids’ creator Leif Pedersen is a fabulous musician in his own right. Leif has been a lead singer for many famous internationally touring Big Bands orchestras, such as Tommy Dorsey Orchestra, Al Beletto’s Big Jazz Band, Pete Fountain, and Woody Herman’s Band. Today, the New Orleans native leads his own band. The Swamp Kids is a growing enterprise, with four books in the series and more coming. All of the books contain “Lagniappe Lessons” by Louisiana celebrities—famous Cajun fiddler Doug Kershaw is the guest star in The Lost Chord!
