"The basic premise of the event is that hunters hunt rattlesnakes from the surrounding environment all across West Texas, and bring them into the roundup for the weekend. And during the roundup, these snakes are kept in a pit and then, one by one, beheaded and skinned in front of in front of audiences." - Elizabeth MeLampy Elizabeth MeLampy is a lawyer dedicated to animal rights and protection, and her passion for this work shines through in her latest book, Forget the Camel, the Madcap World of Animal Festivals and What They Say About Being Human . To research the book, Elizabeth traveled across the country, immersing herself in a wide range of animal festivals — from the Iditarod dog sled race to the rattlesnake roundup in Sweetwater, Texas. Elizabeth examines these festivals as revealing microcosms of our broader relationship with animals. Whether it's rattlesnake hunts, frog-jumping contests, ostrich races, or groundhog celebrations, these events reflect the ways humans use animals to express cultural identity, community pride, and historical traditions. Yet beneath the pageantry and excitement lies a deeper question: Is our fascination with these spectacles worth the toll it takes on the animals involved? With compassion and insight, Elizabeth invites readers to consider whether there’s a more ethical and empathetic way to honor our stories — one that respects both animals and the traditions they inspire. Please listen, share and read, Forget the Camel. It will be released on April 8th, 2025. https://apollopublishers.com/index.php/forget-the-camel/…

Masculinity, Misogyny, and the Manosphere - What Schools Need to Know: The Late Show with Tom Rogers 1:17:02

1 day ago1:17:02

1:17:02

What do Andrew Tate, incel culture, and TikTok trends have to do with your classroom? More than you might think! In this Teachers Talk Radio show, host Tom Rogers is joined by Matt Pinkett and Tommy Michael to explore the growing influence of the manosphere on boys in our schools. We break down how online misogyny spreads, why certain messages about masculinity are so appealing to young men, and what teachers can do to respond—thoughtfully, firmly, and without alienating the very students we want to reach. From assemblies to everyday classroom interactions, we ask: How do we spot the warning signs? How do we open up safe, meaningful conversations about gender and identity? And how can schools strike the right balance between challenge and compassion? Whether you're a classroom teacher, a head of year, or just wondering why so many students are quoting Tate, this is a must-listen show on one of the most pressing issues facing education today.…

Bandura’s Self Efficacy Theory in Action: TTR Special - Ben White with Dr Neil Gilbride 1:19:59

6 days ago1:19:59

1:19:59

Dr Neil Gilbride makes a compelling case for how Bandura’s self efficacy theory can help refine how we understand and support our students AND how we design and teach our lessons. There are plenty of pedagogy ‘how tos’ alongside reflections about our role in shaping how students feel about their ability to ‘do it’ in our particular domain - be that maths, English or cake baking. Along the way Neil shares his views on the dangers of PowerPoint, the ultimate purpose of teaching - and who he’d invite (along with Bandura) to a pedagogical dinner party. This show is brought to you in partnership with John Catt Educational, get Neil's book and explore the full range of titles here.…
