Introducing the “I Am Human. This Is My Dog.” podcast – the show devoted to putting the individual back into the dog, as well as their human, while also examining difficult, and oftentimes controversial, animal welfare related topics that have been largely ignored, but are critical for real progress.

In this second episode of the inaugural season, I turn my attention to breed specific legislation and the fight against Lakewood, Ohio's proposed pit bull ban so I can adopt Preston. This episode covers just a few months in 2008 (May-July), but gives the listener an idea of how unsettling these laws can be for those with family pets who are guilty until proven innocent in the eyes of public officials given the power to legislate solely on how a dog looks.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
