WJS Radio Interview on Walden’s Pond About A Rat is a Pig is a Dog is a Boy

A few weeks ago WBAI (Pacifica Radio, “Your peace and justice community radio station”) host Shelton Waldon conducted a wide ranging interview with me about my new book. He has edited it down and it first aired today.

What is unusual about the program, is that Walden edited out most of his questions and so the program is basically a WJS monologue. It was an interesting approach and I hope you think the interview worth your time.  (My favorite line: Reacting to an animal rights terrorist extolling Geronimo as a model, I yelled, “Geronimo rode horses and he wasn’t a vegetarian!”)  Here’s the link. (Before my interview, there is a tribute to Martin Luther King.)
