"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/…

What If Jesus Saw You Doing That? | John Crist 1:24:28

cách đây 5 ngày trước1:24:28

1:24:28

This week John Crist talks with Granger about his journey into comedy. He recalls realizing he was funny during college while working in journalism, where his improvisation skills stood out. Encouraged to try stand-up, he pursued comedy despite his parents' disapproval. Raised in a strict household, John discovered comedians like Jay Leno, Kings of Comedy, and Katt Williams through sneaky means, as comedy was often seen as rebellious. They discuss how comedy has evolved from being underground to mainstream, even appearing at political events. John notes that increased demand for comedy may indicate people are struggling more, similar to how alcohol sales rise in tough times. He reflects on how late-night shows once relied on structured bits, whereas modern comedy is more personal and unscripted. They also touch on shifts in country music, from lighthearted storytelling to deeper, emotional themes. Granger brings up John's past church-planting satire, highlighting humor in cultural observations. Their conversation blends nostalgia, industry changes, and the enduring role of comedy in society.
