    Arresting
    The conversations on When We Talk About Animals often appear esoteric at first, but end up revealing themselves as central to considerations of what it means to be alive and enmeshed in a web of life, laws, and technology on this planet. These are the questions we should wrestle with daily.

    Insightful, compassionate, and worth a deep listen
    This podcast is an utterly charming exploration of the ways that people interface with the plethora of other creatures on this planet. Jumping fluidly between disciplines (from science to psychology to philosophy to art), the conversations allow experts to their share unique and fascinating perspectives on the animal world. As hosts, Viveca and Lindsay have a calming presence and a boundless curiosity that truly brings out the best in their guests.

    Yup
    I didn’t know I needed this podcast but here we are! Very rewarding to be a fly on the wall for these conversations. The hosts are insightful (and that Lindsay has a v alluring speaking voice), the guests are passionate and expert, and listening to people who think of animals with such respect offers a natural and provocative foil for the rest of humanity. It’s very grounding and beautiful and a great way to nerd out.

    A great way to talk about animals and beyond!
    I am thoroughly impressed by the first episode of When We Talk About Animals. Viveca and Lindsay have done an excellent job of talking in an intellectually-satisfying and non-onerous way about animals within the scope of a specific, yet broadly applicable subject-matter. In the first episode, they discussed CRISPR-CAS9 and, alongside their guest, tied this new technology into its implications for the future of humanity and non-human animals as well as its ethical implications. Looking forward to future episodes!
