My show’s theme music is Van Morrison’s “Bright Side Of The Road.” Second choice was “Caravan.”
Gimme questions. I love questions. My radio show is not only fun, but I can’t believe what I am learning. Every time I get a question, I end up doing research or online or through my many books to answer thoughtfully.
Mike Kasablan from Maine send me a great question last night, he asked if I had “ever considered, thought about, or researched the vegan or vegetarian or humane certified life style?”
This send me off on a tour biological research and veterinary school papers. I have considered a vegan or vegetarian diet, and I will talk about it on my program tomorrow (Wednesday, one to three p.m. WBTNAM 1370.)
I hope Mike calls me on the show so I can talk about it with him – 866 406-9286. Live calls make the show special for me, I hope he calls or other people call. You can live stream the show here. Or get it trough the Simple Radio app.
We are having fun either way, Thomas says the show is catching fire. We’ve had calls from Italy, California, Kentucky, Ohio and South Dakota, as well as New York State and Missouri.
Not bad for a tiny and impoverished community radio station in Bennington, Vt.
I’m proud to be there, but then again, who else would have me and give me two hours of air time each week?
Sometimes the show is flooded with calls, sometimes there are none. I have no idea how to read that, but I am loving questions. They give me the chance to grow and learn and be actually helpful.
You can send them to me during the show – I check my Iphone – or you can e-mail them to me anytime – [email protected].
Some creative person asked if it be possible for her to sponsor parts of the show, or sponsor rescue or other dog related groups at one time or another. Good idea. That would cost very little money.
I’ll check it out with Thomas Toscano, who runs the station.
The research and debate over vegan and vegetarian diets for dogs is raging, and there is a lot of very good literature about it. I’m eager to talk about it tomorrow.
Like the political world, the animal world is filled with warring ideas and factions. I have no desire to argue, only share what I am learning and thinking.
Call with your questions if you can, e-mail me if you can’t. We are sending good signals out into the world. That’s the bottom line.
