TODAY’S CREATIVE LOVING PROFILE

Animal Lovers On Air

Published 08.02.06

If you love animals and punk rock, be sure to check out WMNF's next "Talking Animals" show. Hosted by Duncan Straus, the monthly radio program dives into a jungle of animal news, songs, comedy and an interview with some notable animal lover or another. For the next edition, Straus interviews John Doe, the founder-bassist of legendary punk band X, a member of the country-folk X-offshoot The Knitters, an acclaimed solo singer-songwriter and an actor who's appeared in more than 40 films. Doe also has an equal love for animals, from the multitudes that live with him to his work providing the narration for a documentary on animal rights. Doe might also divulge some details about his upcoming tour that makes an Aug. 25 stop at Jannus Landing. Wed., Aug. 9, 11:30 a.m.-noon, WMNF-88.5 FM, www.talkinganimals.net.

I've been listening to this show since its early days on KUCI in Irvine CA. It's fun and informative and a total kick in the pants -- an incredible array of guests (from John Doe to Bob Barker!), great comedy bites (Duncan used to manage comedians)and some fun music to boot (Duncan's also an extraordinary music d.j. -- check him out on PreDawn Alternatives, Thurs. 4 - 6 a.m. on WMNF). This is a unique and signficiant show, well worth a listen.
