Creature Preacher

We love our pets. We indulge our cats, pamper our dogs, and spend countless hours and dollars trying to connect with them. But what are they really thinking? Well, buckle up! Nancy Mello is an animal communicator. She helps people see into the hearts and minds of their animals – alive and departed. In this season, Nancy connects with pets of celebrities and everyday folks. She speaks directly to lost dogs, demanding rabbits, even the world’s oldest land animal – Jonathan the tortoise – to share what they really think of us. Learn why Boomer loves one of his dads but can’t stand the other, what Dave the dog thinks of being an emotional support pet for the whole family, and how Hvaldimir the spy whale can find his way home. There’s drama, jealousy, and juicy secrets…but definitely no BS. Creature Preacher: Messages directly from your beloved animal to you.

A Field Guide to Gay Animals

Today Nancy is sharing a new show you might like. A Field Guide to Gay Animals explores sexuality, gender, and joy in the animal world. Animal enthusiasts Owen Ever and Laine Kaplan-Levenson take you on a quest to see beyond the natural world as we know it. In this episode, Owen, Laine, and a 200 year-old gay tortoise explore the history of scientific research into gay animals. From gay swans, to self-pleasuring elephants, to amorous giraffes, they learn how scientists have been understanding and misunderstanding queerness in nature for centuries. And they introduce a bold researcher in the 1990’s who helped people see nature for what it is - abundantly queer.
