When We Talk About Animals is a podcast series devoted to exploring the big questions animals raise about what it means to be human.
Each episode features an in-depth interview with a guest expert whose work has furthered human understanding of what animals think and feel and/ or challenged how our society commonly thinks about and treats other creatures. We host ethologists, neurobiologists, sociologists, philosophers, legal scholars, historians and other leading thinkers to speak on one of the most interdisciplinary and morally pressing topics of our time.
When We Talk About Animals is co-hosted by Viveca Morris and Jennifer Skene, supported by the Law, Ethics & Animals Program at Yale Law School and Yale University’s Human Nature Lab, and recorded and edited by Ryan McEvoy and the Yale Broadcast Studio. The first 28 episodes of the show were co-hosted by Morris and Lindsay Stern, who co-founded the series in 2018. Daniel Blokh is the podcast’s Assistant Producer. Episodes are available on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, and other platforms.
The podcast’s opening and closing music segments are excerpts from The Carnival of Animals by Camille Saint-Saëns (available via Wikimedia Commons, CC-BY-SA-2.0).
