Screenwriter-turned-mystery-novelist Jule Selbo joins hosts Matt Cost and BJ Magnani on Big Blend Radio's "Pets, Plots & Poisons" Podcast to talk about her award-winning Dee Rommel mystery series — a countdown series that just landed its fifth book, "Six Days."   The conversation covers building a lead detective with a below-the-knee amputation, the Falmouth, Maine coffee-shop friendship that shaped her research, a scene-stealing Pomeranian named Prince Zhao, and how Seven Days turned PFAS "forever chemicals" into a plot device. Matt and Jule also trade plotting tips, and BJ closes out the episode with this month's poison: batrachotoxin, harvested from Colombia's golden poison frog.

Leora brings the case against her husband, Sam. Sam once brought home a SURPRISE fish tank. Sam and the kids love it, but not Leora! To add insult to injury, Sam brought home two surprise shrimp - ostensibly to clean the tank. Leora wants Sam to talk to her before adding more pets to the home, but Sam says that shrimp aren't pets - they're part of the tank's filtration system! Who's right? Who's wrong?To suggest a title for a future episode, keep an eye on the Maximum Fun subreddit at reddit.com/r/maximumfun! ---Judge John Hodgman is member-supported!

Can you see spirits after brain surgery? What happens when you wake up from a coma and have to relearn how to walk, talk, and think? Can pets communicate with people? And what does it mean when a psychic knows details about your life that they couldn't possibly know?In this extraordinary episode, retired registered nurse and brain tumor surgery survivor Jennifer White shares a remarkable story of survival, recovery, spirituality, paranormal experiences, death, animal communication, and what she believes exists beyond the physical world.Jennifer's story begins with one of the greatest challenges imaginable: surviving brain tumor surgery, waking from a coma, and having to relearn how to live.But that's only the beginning.Jennifer also describes seeing spirits, feeling the presence of people who have died, unexplained experiences in her home, and an extraordinary encounter with a pet empath who appeared to communicate with a deceased nursing-home cat named Rome.And the details of the Rome story are astonishing! (so excited for you all to hear this story!)Jennifer White's Miracle of Survival!Jennifer's brain tumor survival story is itself a miracle.After emerging from a coma and facing the prospect of relearning seemingly ordinary human abilities, she kept going.That's why her story is ultimately bigger than brain surgery.It is about resilience after trauma, recovering when the odds seem impossible, overcoming adversity, and discovering that you may be capable of much more than you think.Jennifer's message is simple:Never give up.Can People Really See Spirits?Jennifer also has another extraordinary story to tell.She says she was aware of spirits both before and after her surgery.She describes seeing people who she believes are spirits, talking to them, and experiencing unexplained phenomena in homes and other locations.That raises some fascinating questions:Why Do Some People See Spirits?Jennifer believes there is more happening around us than we normally perceive.She describes hearing footsteps, experiencing unexplained activity, and sensing a presence in her home. And then, she shares so much more, including a really funny story that happened with her husband one night!Are Paranormal Experiences Always Scary?For Jennifer, they aren't.She says she has never encountered a spirit she considered nasty. Instead, she describes experiences that range from unexplained noises to objects behaving unexpectedly.Her perspective is particularly interesting because she isn't presenting herself simply as a paranormal enthusiast.She spent years as a registered nurse and director of nursing, caring for people through illness, aging, and death. So death and the paranormal are "normal" for her, because of her work and her experiences.What Happens When Someone Dies?One of the most profound parts of Jennifer's story comes from her professional experience.She has been present when people died.She describes feeling, for lack of a better word, their presence leave their bodies.Those experiences contributed to her belief that human beings are spirits having a physical experience and that something continues after physical death.That leads directly into some of humanity's oldest questions: What happens when we die? Does consciousness survive death? Is there an afterlife? What happens to the spirit after death? Can you feel someone's presence after they die? Are we more than our physical bodies? Can someone who has died communicate with the living? Jennifer doesn't claim to have all the answers. And I don't either, but I love the mystery and the question around this, because it makes life more exciting!Can Deceased Pets Communicate With Us?Then Jennifer tells the story that may stay with you long after the episode ends.Rome was a cat.When Jennifer was working as a director of nursing at a nursing home in Toronto, one of the residents had a cat named Rome.After the resident died, the nursing home essentially adopted him.Rome became part of the community.He wandered around visiting residents and would regularly come into Jennifer's office, jump onto her desk, and spend time with her. And that's all I'm going to leave you with because the story gets even better from there. You'll just have to listen, my friends!Do Cats Have Spirits?Jennifer clearly believes they do.Her experience with Rome fits into her broader belief that animals, humans, and consciousness may be connected in ways we don't fully understand.The story also raises questions about: Do cats have souls? Do animals have spirits? Do pets go somewhere after they die? Can cats visit their owners after death? Can deceased pets communicate? How do you know if your dead pet is visiting you? What are signs from a deceased pet? Can an animal's spirit remain connected to people? For Jennifer, Rome's story is not just about a cat. It is about connection continuing beyond physical death.Signs From the Other Side: Jennifer's Unexplained ExperiencesJennifer's stories throughout this episode share a common thread:connection.She describes spirits.She describes people who have died.She describes an unexplained light that she believes responds to her.She describes hearing footsteps.She describes encounters in old homes.And she describes a deceased cat communicating information that Jennifer says could not easily have been known by the person conducting the reading.These stories invite listeners to consider whether some coincidences are more meaningful than they initially appear.If you're fascinated by brain tumor survival stories, coma recovery, paranormal experiences, seeing spirits, life after death, animal communication, deceased pets, pet psychics, synchronicity, miracles, and unexplained phenomena, this is an episode you won't want to miss!Jennifer White's story is ultimately a reminder that the world may be stranger, more mysterious, and more beautiful than we realize.Sometimes the miracle is surviving.Sometimes the miracle is recovering.Sometimes the miracle is a mysterious encounter you can't explain.And sometimes, apparently, the miracle is a little cat named Rome waiting for you at the nursing home.To hear more stories of animals and miracle encounters, click on the links below to hear these sweet stories!Leslie Draffin shares a powerfully impactful story about her beloved dog and how she got the answers she needed after this sweet nugget passed.

Send us Fan MailDogs are more involved in our social lives than ever before. They join us at cafés, visit friends' homes, accompany us on holidays and, quite rightly, are often considered members of the family. But has the way we teach our dogs good manners changed too?In this episode of Manners and Other Matters, Louise explores the shift from traditional obedience training towards everyday dog manners and considers eight very modern dilemmas.What should we do about the enthusiastic dog who jumps on every visitor? Is a little dog allowed to get away with behaviour we would never tolerate from a larger one? Should dogs accompany us to cafés and other people's homes? And what are the etiquette rules for people who want to approach somebody else's dog?With a little help from Louise's own Pomeranian, Amélie, this is a warm and thoughtful look at barking, jumping, personal space, café behaviour, dinner-table begging and the responsibilities of the human at the other end of the lead.Because good manners aren't really about obedience. They're about consideration for others, and good manners are certainly not measured in kilograms.SHOW NOTES: https://thepercyinstitute.com/episode-77-paws-and-poise/I'd love to hear from you.

This week on Cattitude, Michelle Fern welcomes actor and filmmaker Joey Luthman, whose heartbreak over losing his beloved cat Winter to chronic kidney disease has turned into an extraordinary mission to help save cats everywhere. Joey shares how he teamed up with EveryCat Health Foundation with an ambitious goal of raising $1 million for feline health research, then took that mission across America on a OneWheel electric skateboard—an incredible journey now chronicled in the documentary CAT MAN: Journey to Save Cat Kind. But Joey isn't stopping there! On September 19, he's taking on an even crazier challenge: attempting to break the Guinness World Record for the most consecutive hands-free pogo stick jumps, aiming for a whopping 20,000 jumps to raise even more money and awareness for cats. Joey and Michelle also discuss chronic kidney disease, why cats can hide signs of illness, the importance of hydration and early detection, and how pet parents can support the search for better treatments and, ultimately, a cure. It's an inspiring story of turning loss into action—and just how far one devoted cat dad is willing to go (and jump!) to make a difference for cats.EPISODE NOTES: Joey Luthman - A Million Dollars, 20,000 Jumps & One Very Determined Cat Dad!Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/cattitude-the-1-cat-podcast--6666768/support.

What happens when a police K-9 is critically injured in the line of duty? Who is responsible for getting that animal lifesaving emergency care—and what happens when every second counts?In this episode of Keep It Humane: The Podcast, we sit down with Dr. Lindsay Kendrick of VEG ER for Pets to take a closer look at Nero's Law in Massachusetts, legislation created to provide emergency veterinary care and transportation for police dogs injured in the line of duty.We discuss the story behind Nero's Law, how it works in practice, the role emergency veterinarians play when these calls come in, and the unique challenges of treating working K-9s in critical situations.But this conversation goes beyond one law. We also explore emergency veterinary medicine, the relationship between animal control, law enforcement, and veterinary professionals, and what it takes to make difficult decisions when an animal's life is on the line.A fascinating conversation about K-9s, emergency medicine, legislation, public safety, and the people who step up when animals need them most.

Herbs aren't a weaker version of medicine — they're a different paradigm entirely, and almost nobody explains that better than Greg Tilford. As one of the most respected voices in veterinary herbalism, author of multiple books on the subject, and a driving force behind bringing herbal medicine into mainstream animal care, Greg joins The Pet Parenting Reset to talk about what it actually means for an herb to be anti-pathogenic — working with the body's own terrain to make it inhospitable to illness, rather than carpet-bombing everything the way antibiotics do.We get into how domestication and modern pet life cut dogs and cats off from the plant-seeking instincts their wild ancestors relied on constantly, why whole-plant complexity often outperforms isolated compounds, and how to start building a basic herbal toolkit at home before you actually need one. Greg's approach is rooted in ecology as much as biology — herbalism not just as medicine, but as a relationship with the land itself.If you've ever wondered whether there's a middle ground between "do nothing" and "reach for a prescription," this episode is that middle ground.

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE!For Nicole Strickland, a lifelong fascination with the supernatural took on a deeply personal meaning through two unforgettable companions—Max and Kayli. These weren't just beloved pets. They were family. And when their lives ended, something extraordinary began.After Max and Kayli crossed the Rainbow Bridge, Nicole experienced moments that challenged everything we assume about life, death, and the limits of love. Subtle signs. Powerful encounters. A sense of presence that refused to fade. The connection was so profound that it inspired her to write a book honoring their bond—Max and Kayli, Two Remarkable Felines Forever Imprinted on My Heart.But Nicole's story is part of something much larger. Across the world, people report visits, signs, and unmistakable moments from pets they've lost—moments that feel purposeful, comforting, and impossible to dismiss.In this episode of The Grave Talks, we explore a question many quietly ask but rarely say out loud: when our pets leave this world, do they really leave us… or do some bonds continue far beyond life itself?For more information about Nicole, visit her website at authornicolestrickland.com.#PetAfterlife #RainbowBridge #ParanormalExperiences #SpiritualConnections #PetVisitations #LifeAfterDeath #TrueParanormal #AnimalSpirits #TheGraveTalksLove real ghost stories?

Hey, it's Amy Newmark with your Chicken Soup for the Soul and I want to share a couple of stories with you today from one of our new books, Chicken Soup for the Soul: Pets, Pets, Pets. This is such a fun book and it's been the #1 bestseller among pet books ever since it came out a couple of months ago. I haven't counted but I think there are at least 40 kinds of pets in this new collection, every kind of furry, feathered, scaly, flying, walking, swimming, slithering, indoor or outdoor, tame or wild, tiny or gigantic pet imaginable. And we got lots of stories submitted about unlikely friendship between all these different kinds of animals, friendships you might not expect. Learn more about your ad choices.

Three stories. Three completely different situations. And one thing they all have in common… people making choices that affect innocent lives.First, a dog living in absolutely heartbreaking conditions, surrounded by squalor and neglect.Then, a starving mother dog walking around with her puppies, so emaciated you can see every rib. These animals didn't choose their situation — people did.And finally, a woman finds out her husband cheated on her… and she wasn't having it. Sometimes the relationship is over, the excuses are over, and somebody just needs to GO!This is what Stupid People with Pets is about — real conversations, controversial topics, animal welfare, relationships, society, and the things people don't always want to talk about.Don't let the name fool you.Think for yourself, laugh at yourself, and whatever you do… don't let the comment section raise you. Full podcast on YouTube and all major podcast platforms.

Are We Killing Our Pets with Dr. Judy Morgan | Improvement Warrior Podcast Episode 91Are We Killing Our Pets? That's the question Jason Yun poses in this powerful conversation with holistic veterinarian Dr. Judy Morgan on the Improvement Warrior Podcast. Conventional care—ultra-processed kibble, annual vaccines, chemical flea/tick preventatives, and corporate-driven protocols—has coincided with exploding rates of cancer, kidney disease, allergies, and shortened lifespans in dogs and cats. Dr. Morgan, with 40+ years of integrative experience, pulls no punches on what's going wrong and how pet parents can take back control with species-appropriate food, smarter vaccination strategies, and natural therapies.Welcome back to the Improvement Warrior Podcast. If you're new, this is the show where we go beyond calories and cardio and talk about the things that actually move the needle: light, mitochondria, circadian biology, and now… the animals who share our homes.I recently lost my own dog. That experience, combined with everything I've learned about how environment and inputs shape biology, made me ask a hard question: Are we accidentally killing our pets with the very care we think is protecting them?Today I'm sitting down with Dr. Judy Morgan, DVM, CVA, CVCP, CVFT—integrative veterinarian, bestselling author, and one of the loudest, most consistent voices for naturally healthy pets. She retired from clinical practice after 36 years and now educates millions of pet parents on real food, reduced chemical load, smarter vaccination, and traditional Chinese veterinary medicine.This conversation is going to challenge a lot of what you've been told at the vet's office. Grab your notebook.

In this warm and wide–ranging episode of Reading With Your Kids, Jed welcomes back two guest authors whose books celebrate culture, compassion, and kids with big feelings. First, Jy de la Vega returns to share her new early reader graphic novel, "Annalise: The Special Dish." Inspired by her own daughter, who is on the autism spectrum, J's story follows Annalise as she tries to create a "special" recipe for a school party. Along the way—through tostones, mofongo, and finally pasteles—Annalise discovers that what truly makes something special isn't how fancy it is or how different it looks, but the people you make it with. J talks about the power of Puerto Rican food, family, and community, and why it's critical for children of color, especially Hispanic kids, to see themselves reflected positively in books. She also shares how her work has evolved from simply giving her kids mirrors to speaking honestly, gently, and hopefully to her whole community. Then, Jed is joined by Victoria Smith, author of "Liliana's Match: Finding Bella – How Animals Help with ADHD and Anxiety in Kids." Inspired by her daughter's beloved beagle, Bella, and grounded in research on animals and mental health, Victoria's picture book shows how a shelter dog helps a child with ADHD feel calmer, more understood, and more connected. Victoria, a longtime educator, explains how pets can bring structure, responsibility, and emotional regulation into kids' lives, and why empathy, adoption, and giving back to others lie at the heart of her stories.

Andrea Martin 2:14 PM (0 minutes ago)to meGas stations are selling synthetic THC products, and the big question is… what the hell are we actually putting in our bodies? In this episode, I'm breaking down the synthetic THC products you see at gas stations, what makes them different from traditional marijuana, and why people need to pay attention to what they're buying.And because this is Stupid People with Pets, I'm tying it all back to our animals too.  Because sometimes the choices we make as humans don't just affect us — they can affect the pets living right beside us.No lectures. No bullshit. Just a real conversation about synthetic THC, questionable decisions, and the things we probably should be thinking about before we put them in our bodies.Think for yourself, laugh at yourself, and whatever you do… don't let the comment section raise you.

 CAN AI TRAIN YOUR DOG?!We've officially reached the point where AI isn't just writing emails, making music, and taking people's jobs… now it wants to train our damn dogs! In this episode of Stupid People with Pets, I'm talking about how AI could actually be used to help train your dog. Commands, behavior, routines, corrections… hell, pretty soon your dog might be getting better instructions from a computer than some people get from their own trainers! But seriously… is AI actually going to make dog training easier, or are we taking technology WAY too far?Would you trust AI to train your dog? #StupidPeopleWithPets #DogTraining #AI #Dogs #PetParents #DogLovers #ArtificialIntelligence #DogBehavior

See what the team at The Successful Bookkeeper has on right now →If you work 8-plus hours a day in front of a screen, your body is paying a price you may not fully see yet. In this episode, host Michael Palmer welcomes back nutritionist, TV host, and bestselling author Julie Daniluk for a frank conversation about what sedentary desk work is actually doing to bookkeepers' bodies — and, more importantly, what you can do about it starting today.Chapters[00:00] Standing desk setup intro[01:37] Julie's plane crash recovery[03:54] Why sitting harms your body[07:00] Walking pads and movement snacks[09:48] Diagnosing your energy crashes[12:00] Continuous glucose monitors explained[17:00] Oura Ring and sleep tracking[21:00] Hidden energy thieves and diet[26:00] Ketones, brain fog, and yerba mate[30:00] LumaBody program and resourcesSitting Is the New SmokingThe phrase sounds dramatic until you hear what the research actually shows. "Sitting still for 8 hours a day is absolutely horrendous for your health," Julie explains. "You end up with very poor blood sugar control. It reduces your insulin sensitivity. It's hard on your heart, and it certainly reduces your circulation." The solution, she argues, isn't to stretch after work — it's to stop sitting so much in the first place. A desk topper that converts any standard surface into a standing workspace, combined with a compact walking pad (now as small as 2.5 feet long), can let you move your legs while you work without disrupting your typing rhythm. Alternating between a standing position and a balance ball chair throughout the day adds an unexpected core workout on top of the circulation benefits.Movement Snacks and the Hourly ResetJulie recommends treating movement the way many bookkeepers treat their billable time — in structured intervals. "Every hour you should be taking a small movement break," she says, whether that's 50 squats, calf raises, arm swings, or even just tapping your feet under the desk. She calls these "movement snacks," and the research behind them is clear: brief bouts of muscle activity pull blood sugar down, restore circulation, and fight the metabolic slowdown that comes with prolonged stillness. Pets help too — Julie walks her dog twice a day and counts an energetic ball-throwing session in the backyard as a legitimate movement break.Tracking Your Metabolic HealthOne of the most practical tools discussed in this episode is the continuous glucose monitor (CGM) — a small microchip worn on the back of the arm that pairs with a smartphone app to show real-time blood sugar readings throughout the day. No doctor's prescription required; they're available at most drugstores. Julie uses them regularly with clients and consistently finds surprises: smoothies, fruit-bottomed yogurt, and white rice can spike blood sugar just as sharply as obvious offenders like donuts. "It's going to give you charts and graphs to show you" exactly which foods cause peaks and crashes — and the crashes, she notes, are when fatigue, brain fog, and headaches hit hardest. The Oura Ring comes up as a complementary tracker for sleep quality, with Julie crediting mouth taping and acupuncture for doubling her nightly deep sleep.Hidden Energy ThievesBeyond movement, Julie identifies several drains that busy bookkeepers rarely connect to their afternoon slumps. Liquid calories — think blended coffee drinks topping 700 calories — don't register as fullness the way solid food does, so they spike insulin without satisfying hunger. Ultra-processed foods borrow nutrients like B vitamins, zinc, and chromium from your body's own reserves just to metabolize their empty carbohydrates, leaving you with less energy than you started with. Food sensitivities to gluten, corn, soy, or refined sugar can trigger an immune response that feels like pure exhaustion. And caffeine, she clarifies, doesn't give you energy — it suppresses adenosine, your body's fatigue signal, which is a very different thing. Her recommended alternative: yerba mate, which naturally stimulates GLP-1, reduces appetite, and delivers gentler stimulation without wrecking sleep.Fueling Your Brain DifferentlyFor bookkeepers struggling with brain fog, Julie points to ketones as an underused fuel source. When sugar intake drops, the liver produces ketones that can power the brain with remarkable clarity. "In the absence of sugar, how extraordinary my focus and memory really can be," she says, drawing on her own experience managing ADHD through nutrition. Therapeutic ketone powders and medium-chain triglycerides (from coconut products) offer a way to access this fuel without committing to a strict ketogenic diet. She also advocates for a protein-forward breakfast — a batch-cooked frittata made with a dozen eggs, roasted peppers, olives, and feta — as a practical way to stabilize blood sugar from the first hour of the workday and push carbohydrates to the evening, when they support sleep rather than afternoon crashes.Links MentionedDesk topper / standing desk riser — links to be added in episode resourcesWalking pad (compact) — links to be added in episode resourcesContinuous glucose monitor (CGM) — available at major drugstores; pairs with a smartphone appOura Ring — ouraring.comLumaBody metabolic health program — juliedaniluk.comThe Successful Bookkeeper community — community.thesuccessfulbookkeeper.comAbout the GuestJulie Daniluk is a registered nutritionist, TV host, and bestselling author whose work focuses on anti-inflammatory nutrition and metabolic health.

In this episode of Curing with Sound, we speak with Tonya Cherukuri, PhD, Director of the Foundation's Claudine and Fritz Kundrun Veterinary Program. The program funds clinical trials investigating focused ultrasound for naturally occurring diseases in companion animals to advance veterinary care and also generate insights that may inform applications in human medicine. To date, it has supported nearly 30 trials across 14 conditions, including osteosarcoma, lymphoma, oral tumors, and urinary stones. Dr. Cherukuri discusses the potential advantages of focused ultrasound for veterinary patients, including its noninvasive nature, shorter recovery times, and reduced risk of infection. She highlights promising areas of research, examines the barriers to translating focused ultrasound from veterinary studies into clinical practice, and outlines what will be needed to make the technology more widely available.  Dr. Cherukuri also reflects on the generous gift from Claudine and Fritz Kundrun that anchors the program, and the Foundation's ongoing fundraising efforts to sustain veterinary focused ultrasound research in the years ahead.

We all have lost a pet right?! Tell us your story.

Beat Migs! And we chat about things that bit you.

I've watched some disturbing videos before, but this one broke me.In this episode of Stupid People with Pets, I react to a video showing a man throwing his own dog down the stairs and treating him in a way no animal should ever be treated.I started watching angry…But by the end, I had tears in my eyes.I actually had to stop recording because I couldn't finish the video.These animals trust us. They depend on us. They love us unconditionally—and seeing someone abuse that trust is absolutely disgusting.This episode isn't about making jokes.It's about calling out animal abuse and asking one simple question:If you can't love, protect, and respect an animal… WHY THE HELL DO YOU HAVE ONE? Speak up for animals that can't speak for themselves.This is Mr. BURNZ SATIVA, and this is Stupid People with Pets.You can't fix stupid… but you sure as hell can call it out.#StupidPeopleWithPets #AnimalAbuse #StopAnimalAbuse #Dogs #DogAbuse #DogLovers #AnimalRights #SpeakForTheAnimals #PetAbuse #DogProtection

Marilyn Milano is a Seattle-based vocalist/pianist and can easily be called an animal advocate. Pets are often considered a family member, bringing comfort and companionship to all ages. Their lifespan is much shorter than ours, and so we will definitely outlive them. Marilyn tells us of her loss of eleven pups over the years; it's a challenge each time, and yet most of us decide to return and bring another sweet creature into our lives. It's also important to grieve the loss, and there is support for when it occurs - it's beneficial to reach out.www.marilynmilano.net and https://www.ahelpproject.orgSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

This week on Cattitude, Michelle Fern welcomes Chef Scot Hill of Wolf Creek, a professional chef for 35 years who traded the restaurant kitchen for the world of pet wellness—and is now turning his attention to cats with the launch of Feline Foundation. Chef Scot explains why cats aren't simply smaller versions of dogs, from their unique digestive physiology and status as obligate carnivores to their need for animal protein, taurine, proper hydration and feline-specific nutritional support. Michelle and Chef Scot dig into the fascinating connection between gut health and a cat's immune system, skin, coat, behavior and overall wellness, while revealing subtle signs that your cat's digestive system may be out of balance. They also cut through misleading pet-food marketing buzzwords, explain what pet parents should really look for on ingredient labels, and explore why cats may not actually be “finicky” eaters—they may just know more about what they need than we give them credit for! Plus, Chef Scot shares the surprising lessons he's learned by watching animals instinctively select herbs and reveals the mysterious neighborhood “Ghost” who just might turn this lifelong chef into a cat dad. It's a deliciously informative episode that serves up a fresh perspective on what we put in our cats' bowls.EPISODE NOTES: Cats Aren't Small Dogs!

Susie watched the Boeing documentary, Freefall, which exposes the company's negligence that likely led to many of the recent airplane crashes, malfunctions, and fatalities. We learn about a Titanic-themed slide a family installed on their farm, which infuriated residents who thought it was insensitive. We debate whether making light of the tragedy is inappropriate or people are being overly sensitive. We learn the crazy reason clownfish lose all but one of their stripes as they age. We hear about a man paying a ton of money for a matchmaker, but has been on 40 first dates, and hasn't found Mrs. Right. We think we know why. In the middle of recording Susie receives dozens of texts about Dolly Parton's death, and we eulogize her on the fly. We learn what happens in the brain when we have an "aha moment." And we find out that humans are not the only animals who have pets.00:00 - Personal Updates, Exam Stress, and Comedy Show Mishaps11:27 - Unpacking Boeing's Negligence and Air Travel Anxiety20:29 - Is a Titanic-Themed Slide Insensitive or Harmless Fun?29:15 - Peer Pressure Makes Clownfish Lose Their Stripes34:09 - Why a $25,000 Matchmaker Client Stays Single44:30 - An Emotional Eulogy for Dolly Parton (False Alarm)49:25 - Exploring the Science Behind Our "Aha" Eureka Moments01:00:32 - The Evolutionary Enigma of Animals Keeping Pets01:08:17 - Reflecting on Cultural Grief and Saying FarewellBrain Candy Podcast Website - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/Brain Candy Podcast Book Recommendations - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/books/Brain Candy Podcast Merchandise - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/candy-store/Brain Candy Podcast Candy Club - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/product/candy-club/Brain Candy Podcast Sponsor Codes - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/support-us/Brain Candy Podcast Social Media & Platforms:Brain Candy Podcast LIVE Interactive Trivia Nights - https://www.youtube.com/@BrainCandyPodcast/streamsBrain Candy Podcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/braincandypodcastHost Susie Meister Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/susiemeisterHost Sarah Rice Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/imsarahriceBrain Candy Podcast on X: https://www.x.com/braincandypodBrain Candy Podcast Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/braincandy (JOIN FREE - TONS OF REALITY TV CONTENT)Brain Candy Podcast Sponsors, partnerships, & Products that we love:Head to https://airdoctor.com and use promo code CANDY to get UP TO $300 off today!

This episode of Late Night Health explores two very different paths to healthier living—helping beloved pets stay strong and mobile, and reconsidering the role light may play in human well-being.Host Mark Alyn first welcomes Dr. Kelly Fishman, a veterinary sports medicine and rehabilitation specialist and founder of Strutt Animal Mobility Specialists in Pennsylvania. Fishman explains that a walk around the block may not provide enough activity for many dogs, particularly working breeds such as Labrador retrievers, border collies and Australian shepherds. Strength and cardiovascular exercises—including canine squats, planks and jumps—can help build muscle, support joints, manage weight and reduce behavior problems caused by excess energy.Fishman also shares practical advice for senior pets and owners with limited mobility. Dog treadmills, elevated exercise surfaces and carefully selected nutritional support can offer useful alternatives. For cats, whose arthritis often goes unnoticed, she emphasizes weight management, muscle support and attentive care. Her warm-weather tips include adding water to canned food and offering frozen blueberries or cucumber for extra hydration. Beyond physical health, Fishman discusses the emotional benefits pets provide, especially for older adults and people living alone.In the second half, Italian physician, ophthalmologist, musician and author Dr. Roberto Pinelli joins the program from Switzerland. His book, Awakening the Pineal Gland, examines the small gland located deep within the brain and its connections to light, melatonin, sleep and circadian rhythms.Blending neuroscience, ancient symbolism and personal intuition, Pinelli describes his research into carefully modulated light and sound. He argues that light should be viewed not simply as a danger, but as a form of biological nourishment when experienced responsibly—particularly during gentler morning and late-afternoon hours. While several of his broader therapeutic ideas remain unconventional, the conversation offers a fascinating look at his effort to connect ophthalmology, nature, consciousness and spirituality.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/late-night-health-radio--2804369/support.

Dr. Judy welcomes Dr. Ruth Roberts to the show, examining the health tradeoffs of routine spay and neuter, especially early sterilization, and argue that preserving endocrine function may reduce chronic disease risk in dogs. They link the rise in chronic disease after roughly 2000 to multiple factors, with sterilization presented as one important contributor alongside food quality, vaccines, and environmental toxins. The study results or overwhelming! So, what is Spay-Neuter Syndrome? Early spay/neuter can be linked to obesity, cruciate rupture, hip and elbow degeneration, allergies, IVDD, arthritis, Cushing's disease, thyroid dysfunction, pancreatitis, diabetes, and some cancers including hemangiosarcoma, lymphoma, osteosarcoma, mast cell tumors, and prostate cancer.

Are you experiencing longer wait times? Are your visits cut shorter? Do you find it to be more expensive? The future is clear. Quality of healthcare is no longer guaranteed for your pet. But there's a new gateway to avoid this difficult path. Dr. Ruth Roberts offers a holistic pet health coach program, where you take control of your pet's health. This is not your typical quickie course to get limited bits of information. This comprehensive program teaches the scientific foundation of your pet's system to understand health issues and how nutrition, natural supplements, and therapies can support intermediate care. This is truly a complete pet healthcare program, so take charge now. You can go to the Holistic Pet Health Coach website for more information, and you can get a special one-time discount of $250 if you use the code DRJUDY when you apply. To learn more. Visit drruthroberts.com/pages/coach or scan the QR code shown here. This discount is valid until December 31st, 2026. This episode is sponsored by Dr. Ruth Roberts Holistic Pet Health Coach Program, where you learn to take control of your pet's healthcare. PRODUCT SPOTLIGHT #2 Here's something most dog owners don't know: dogs cannot produce EPA and DHA on their own. These essential omega-3 fatty acids must come from their diet, and without enough of them, the effects show up in ways we often mistake for just getting older: a dull coat, stiff joints, brain fog, low energy-these are not inevitable. They're often signs of a nutritional gap that can be filled. Feel Good Omega was created by Dr. Peter Dobias to do exactly that. Made from pure wild squid oil, sustainably harvested, made in Norway, and Friend of the Sea certified, it delivers the highest quality EPA and DHA in their most bioavailable form, microfiltered, lab tested, protected against rancidity by nitrogen, and bottled in glass. It also comes with a lifetime money back guarantee. Head to peterDobias.com and use code DRJUDY10 for 10% off. Your dog deserves to feel good.

Is losing a pet really as painful as losing a human family member? How do you know when pet grief has become something you need help dealing with—and what should you NEVER say to someone whose pet just died? Tom Kelly sits down with longtime friend Judith Eve Rosen, LCSW, a clinical social worker specializing in veterinary social work and author of Life After Pet Loss: Daily Reflections for Working Through Grief. Judith explains how an experience in a veterinary emergency room inspired her to specialize in pet loss and the human-animal bond.  

This is the last episode of our August hiatus, and we wanted to close it out with one of the most inspiring conversations from the past year. Heading into a new season felt like the right time to revisit Julie Wainwright's story — about reinvention, building something from scratch, and trusting yourself when the path isn't obvious. We're back with brand new episodes next week!From shuttering a business to billion-dollar success, Julie Wainwright is a serial entrepreneur who's seen it all. After serving as CEO of Pets.com and experiencing its collapse during the dot-com crash, Julie reinvented herself and went on to build The RealReal, the luxury resale platform that revolutionized the industry. In this episode, Julie opens up about how she turned a setback into her biggest company yet, the innovations that set The RealReal apart, and the powerful lessons she's learned as a woman navigating the business world.Special thanks to today's sponsor Aerie!

A new baby. A job change. Kids going through a hard season. A surprise vet bill. A spouse retiring. A business changing.And somehow, while we're carrying all of that emotionally, we're also supposed to remember when the electric bill is due, how much is left for groceries, whether Christmas is funded, and where that random $500 expense is coming from.No thank you.

The Q&A returns for August with a variety of topics including pet-related tech mishaps, the contentious multimeter pronunciation debate, arcade boards and Super NES expansion chips, the return of physical keyboard phones, and an accidental grip of AI-related questions about web-scraping statistics, podcasters putting on new vocal identities, cyberattacks on infrastructure, and the growing societal backlash that might (maybe) blunt all this at some point.

Welcome back to MU! This week we take a look at Why Time Flies by Alan Burdick and find out that even “official” time is a negotiated average built from clocks around the world. Then we move into the story of Michel Siffre, who removed himself from daylight, clocks, calendars, and ordinary human routine, and his cave experiments reveal just how quickly the body's internal rhythms can drift when they're cut loose from the outside world. Welcome to your Plus+ Extension, and thank you all for joining us on Plus+! Animals, along with all living things, are affected by cosmic rhythms and celestial cycles. Snails and crabs live by the tides, even in laboratories nowhere near the ocean. Cats with internal clocks that can be adjusted on command. Disappearing dogs that return without fail every Christmas. Biological clocks are nature's timing systems here to help regulate the behavior of all forms of life. From the simplest organism to man himself, and do so quite efficiently. Today we enjoy the 1970 book The Strange World of Animals and Pets by Vincent and Margaret Gaddis. Dedicated to all the pets, who rule us with an iron paw.
