"The basic premise of the event is that hunters hunt rattlesnakes from the surrounding environment all across West Texas, and bring them into the roundup for the weekend. And during the roundup, these snakes are kept in a pit and then, one by one, beheaded and skinned in front of in front of audiences." - Elizabeth MeLampy Elizabeth MeLampy is a lawyer dedicated to animal rights and protection, and her passion for this work shines through in her latest book, Forget the Camel, the Madcap World of Animal Festivals and What They Say About Being Human . To research the book, Elizabeth traveled across the country, immersing herself in a wide range of animal festivals — from the Iditarod dog sled race to the rattlesnake roundup in Sweetwater, Texas. Elizabeth examines these festivals as revealing microcosms of our broader relationship with animals. Whether it's rattlesnake hunts, frog-jumping contests, ostrich races, or groundhog celebrations, these events reflect the ways humans use animals to express cultural identity, community pride, and historical traditions. Yet beneath the pageantry and excitement lies a deeper question: Is our fascination with these spectacles worth the toll it takes on the animals involved? With compassion and insight, Elizabeth invites readers to consider whether there’s a more ethical and empathetic way to honor our stories — one that respects both animals and the traditions they inspire. Please listen, share and read, Forget the Camel. It will be released on April 8th, 2025. https://apollopublishers.com/index.php/forget-the-camel/…

Joel Fearon sprinter and bobsledder - "No hard work goes unseen" 1:14:27

1:14:27

Here's a great chat we did with Joel Fearon earlier in 2021. What a guy! There's so much in here to enjoy and be inspired by. On the track, he's one of the fastest-ever British sprinters, despite a lack of financial support. And he doubles up with competing in Bobsleigh. He and the GB crew finished 5th in the Sochi Winter Olympics, since upgraded to bronze because of the disqualification of the Russian crews because of doping violations. Joel talks about competing, mentoring, family and his love of country music. We hope you enjoy it! You can find us at @grspodcasr @discusdan @martynrooney…
