Hosted by Duncan Strauss, “Talking Animals,” is a radio show about animals and animal issues. The program airs twice a month--the first two Wednesdays of each month--at 11:30 a.m. to noon EST on WMNF, a 70,000-watt NPR affiliate in Tampa, Florida.
Strauss launched “Talking Animals” in June of 2003, and each new edition of the show streams online live via the station’s website www.WMNF.org
That’s also where you can subscribe to our podcast and find an array of information about past guests, peruse media coverage of the show, read commentaries and other articles Duncan has written, and more.
“Talking Animals” consists of multiple elements--including animal songs, animal comedy, animal news & announcements, and a quick quiz feature, “Name That Animal Tune.”
But the true heart of the show is the interview we conduct with a notable inhabitant of the animal world, or a prominent figure from another field with a legitimate tie to animal welfare.
So, our guests have included JEAN-MICHEL COUSTEAU, CHRISSIE HYNDE, TEMPLE GRANDIN, MOBY, INGRID NEWKIRK, TONY LA RUSSA, PAUL WATSON, JANEANE GAROFALO, PETER SINGER, EMMYLOU HARRIS, PETER SINGER, MARGARET CHO, GENE BAUR, NELLIE MCKAY, MONTY ROBERTS, TIPPI HEDREN, DAN PIRARO, PAT DERBY, JOHN DOE, CAROL BUCKLEY, KINKY FRIEDMAN, CAROL BUCKLEY, BOB BARKER, MICHAEL MOUNTAIN, MERRILL MARKOE and TRIUMPH THE INSULT COMIC DOG.
Again, all the shows featuring those interviews are archived on our website--please come visit us: www.TalkingAnimals.net Thanks!

About this page: I have been very active in Domestic Violence causes all of my adult life. I noticed a need in the world pertaining to Same Sex Domestic Violence. It happens more than people know. Unfortunately there are a number of gay people who barely consider themselves worthy or valued as a gay person much less a Domestic Violence Victim. There are also very limited resources, statistics, or information, for Same Sex Domestic Violence. Hopefully through empowerment and education we can change some of this.
Great program on declawing today! It was very informative. I don't have any cats nor dogs at the moment because my fiancee is very allergic to them, but I do love cats and have never declawed any of mine...
