"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/…

1 Behind the Hype: LA Wildfires, Lithium Mining, and the Hidden Costs of Electric Vehicles 2 1:01:58
In part 2 of our episode, we continue to dive into the environmental challenges that come with the growing push for electric vehicles (EVs) and clean energy. While EVs are touted as the solution to reduce carbon emissions and fight climate change, there are some inconvenient truths lurking beneath the surface. We explore the connection between the wildfires ravaging Los Angeles and the rise of lithium mining – a crucial process for powering EVs. From the environmental devastation caused by lithium extraction to the increasing demand for rare earth minerals, we question whether the shift to electric vehicles is truly as eco-friendly as we’ve been led to believe. We also examine the broader implications of the rapid transition to green technology, including how it affects communities, wildlife, and ecosystems. Join us for a deep dive into the complexities of green energy and the untold stories behind the shiny promise of electric vehicles. It’s time to look beyond the surface and confront the environmental impact we often overlook. Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/across-the-pond--6537033/support .…

Across The Pond
Join us as we explore mind-bending theories, strange occurrences, and the blurred lines between alternate realities and parallel universes. From the possibility of time travel and how it could change history to the phenomenon of time slips — where people find themselves mysteriously transported to the past or future — we examine the unexplained and the unknown. Plus, we tackle the Mandela Effect: those peculiar instances where large groups of people remember things differently, from iconic movie lines to historical events, and debate whether these shifts in memory are just quirks of the mind or signs of something bigger — like reality itself shifting. Whether you're a time travel enthusiast, a skeptic, or just someone intrigued by the unknown, this podcast will keep you questioning the fabric of time and your place in it. Tune in each week for thrilling discussions, fascinating stories, and expert interviews that will make you think twice about the nature of time, memory, and the universe itself.
