"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/…

1 How to Create a Viral Business: Lessons from Toasted Tours' Success⏐Ep. #136 58:48
58:48 Play Later Play Later Lists Like Liked58:48
Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedI sat down with Kevin Throop , founder of Toasted Tours , and talked about creating his unconventional tour business. Kevin, formerly at Tesla , wanted to control his destiny, starting with $65,000 and a $3,000 school bus . He renovated the bus for wine tours in Temecula , using a "lipstick on a pig" strategy to make it appealing despite limited funds. Kevin launched with a basic Instagram account, focusing on appealing visuals and honest storytelling. He emphasized customer experience , including wine and food. The move to a semi-truck trailer bus was driven by a desire for expansion and a unique platform. This required ensuring it was legal and insurable , collaborating with the California Highway Patrol . Kevin drew inspiration from Tesla and Apple , aiming for visually appealing products that sell themselves. His vision includes franchising to promote safety and best practices. https://www.instagram.com/toastedtours https://www.toastedtours.com/ Timestamps below.
