"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/…

When you're young, something very often fires the imagination which stays with you for life. In Barry's case it was music and radio, a fascination with stemmed from a holiday on the Isle of Mann where he could see the Radio Ship in the bay. After leaving school Barry's passion was enhanced for several years in the entertainment business. However reality took hold and need for a 'proper' job took over. During his time away from radio in the world suits and business Barry's passion for music continued to grow and his record collection continued to grow too. His interest in radio remained and an irritation with the poor state of corporate and formula driven radio led him to join Radio Caroline in 2005. You can listen to Barry every Tuesday between 10am and 1pm. Amongst the pile of carefully selected music, which takes twists and turns along the way, you'll hear his 'Three of the Best' feature and a good sprinkling of new tracks.
