  • "Yeah, what is the deal with animals? I think, mulling this over, and what I keep coming back to in my mind is they are magic made manifest." -Linda Evans, PhD.

    Part 1, Series 12: Animals in Art and Culture Transcript
    In the captivating premiere of 'The Deal with Animals' Season 2. Discover how animals were depicted in Egyptian art, their cultural significance, and insights into animal behavior reflected through ancient tomb and temple scenes.

    Don't forget to participate in the Women in Podcasting Awards by October 1st, where 'The Deal with Animals' is nominated!

    Guest: Linda Evans is an Associate Professor in Egyptology in the Department of History and Archaeology at Macquarie University, Sydney. She studied Classical Studies and Psychology at the University of Adelaide in South Australia before working in the field of Biology at Washington University in St Louis, Missouri; Rockefeller University, New York; and the University of California, Davis. After returning to Australia, she completed both an MA and PhD in Egyptology at Macquarie. Drawing on her former career in Biology, her research focuses on the human-animal relationship in the ancient world, especially in the Egyptian context, in which she seeks a more accurate and nuanced understanding of ancient zoological knowledge and its application by prehistoric societies.

    Her recent publications include descriptions of the animal-rich tomb paintings at the Egyptian cemetery site of Beni Hassan and new insights into the meaning and significance of Egyptian animal imagery, from pelicans and pigs to porcupines! She is currently completing a volume on the invertebrates of ancient Egypt for Lockwood Press.

  • The sacred status of the cow is so widespread, so institutionalized, so deeply entrenched in Hindu culture, that it is actually quite a central question about the whole notion of Hinduism identity and cows. - Yamini Narayanan

    Episode 3 of Series 7: Animals and the Divine ⁠Transcript⁠

    In this amazing episode we talk about the place of cows -or more pertinently, dairy - in the Hindu religion. It raises the question: what does it mean to treat an animal as sacred versus treating an animal humanely? Yamini discusses the consequences of the cow being amplified as the mother of human life, and how this actually more deeply entrenches the cow into the practice of dairy farming. We hear the story of Krishna and his love for milk as a child raised in a dairy farm, and think about how ideas of kinship with animals can be exploited. Importantly though, we also go back to the origin stories of Hinduism to ask whether there is a place in the Hindu religion to help animals.

    Guest: Yamini Narayanan is an Associate Professor of International and Community Development at Deakin University, Melbourne. Her work explores the ways in which (other) animals are instrumentalised in sectarian, casteist and fascist ideologies in India, and how animals are also actors and architects of informal urbanisms. Yamini’s research is supported by two Australian Research Council grants. Her newest book Mother Cow, Mother India (2023) is published by Stanford University Press. In 2019, Yamini was awarded the Vice Chancellor’s Award for Mid-Career Research Excellence. In recognition of her work, she was made Fellow of the Oxford Centre for Animal Ethics (FOCAE), a distinguished honour that is conferred through nomination or invitation only.

  • Episode 2 of Series 10: Anthropogenic Behavior Change Transcript

    In this episode we delve into how sensory pollution, particularly artificial light, affects wildlife behavior, focusing on insects, spiders, birds, and predator-prey interactions. We discuss the consequences of light pollution on ecosystems, research efforts, and strategies for mitigating the effects through legislation and urban planning.

    Guests: Dr. Brett Seymour, an associate professor at the University of Texas at El Paso, his research interests include how animals interact with their visual environment and how light pollution disrupts natural behaviors, physiology and ecosystem services in arthropods and their predators!

  • Transcript

    Anthropogenic Behavior Change refers to the changes in wildlife behavior brought about through human made changes to the environment.

    Anthropogenic Environmental Change refers to alterations in the natural environment brought about by human activities. These changes encompass a wide range of impacts, from the emission of greenhouse gases leading to global climate change, to deforestation, pollution of air, water, and soil, and the depletion of natural resources. Human actions such as industrialization, urbanization, agriculture, and transportation have intensified these environmental changes, disrupting ecosystems and biodiversity on a global scale.

    Talking about anthropogenic behavior and environmental change is vital for fostering awareness, driving action, and shaping a more sustainable and resilient future for both the planet and its inhabitants.

    In this series we will be covering...

    1. Rapid Environmental Change: Dr. Rachel Blakey and Dr. Kasey Fowler-Finn

    2. Sensory Pollution: Dr. Brett Seymoure and Dr. Jennifer Phillips

    3. Conflict and Coexistence with Dr. Bruce Schulte, Dr. Mauricio Cantor, and Dr. Misty McPhee

    4. Urbanization and Industrialization: Dr. Lauren Stanton and Dr. Kathleen Church

    5. Road Ecology : Julia Kintsch( ECO-resolutions) and Sandra Jacobson (retired- U.S. Forest service)

    6. Reintroductions and Management: Dr. Rachel Chock, Dr. Julie Young, and Dr. Liz Peterson

  • "If you are interested in making the world better for animals, doing something about climate change, solving any social justice problems, veganism is going to be a necessary step." - Pattrice Jones

    Episode 6 of Series 9: Unveiling Vegan Culture Transcript

    Discussing the realities of racism, sexism, and speciesism, we explore how these issues are not standalone problems but are intricately linked. Vine Sanctuary, a beacon of hope and healing, exemplifies the power of community alliances — a sanctuary not just for animals but for humans too, particularly those from marginalized LGBTQ and BIPOC communities.
    This episode isn't just about animal activism; it's an exploration of deep-seated ideologies and the political weight of our personal choices.

    Guest: Pattrice Jones is a cofounder of VINE Sanctuary, an LGBTQ-led refuge for farmed animals, as well as an internationally recognized ecofeminist scholar and activist. Her new book, Bird's-Eye Views: Queer Queries About Activism, Animals, and Identity, collects essays by Pattrice jones on numerous topics relevant to human-animal relations.

  • "I'm going to climb mountains as a vegan or I'm not going to do it at all. So that's very clear in my mind. I know vegans can get enough protein. I had been a vegan for eight years already by then." - Kuntal Joisher

    Episode 5 of Series 9: Unveiling Vegan Culture Transcript

    Our guest, an Indian vegan mountaineer and nutrition coach, shatters the stereotype that peak physical performance requires animal-based nutrition. Joisher myth busts and inspires throughout this episode with his knowledge and experience as a mountaineer and a personal trainer to those on a vegan journey.

    Guest: Kuntal Joisher is the first Indian Vegan mountaineer, hailing from Mumbai, India. His expeditions to some of the world’s most dangerous mountains are driven by a profound personal mission as a Vegan champion, Dementia awareness advocate and a Humanitarian inspiration.
    Kuntal has been on several expeditions and the most significant to date has been his famous feat, his lifelong Everest dream. Kuntal started out his career as a Software Engineer, rather an unassuming happy-go-lucky chap, the guy next door, running the nine-to-five rat race. Then one day, Everything changed!
