#18 ANIMALS'Until one has loved an animal a part of one's soul remains unawakened'- Anatole France.Many of us have our first encounters

with life and death with animals and it’s pretty obvious we can learn a lot from

our pets and animals in the wild. This

very cuddly episode we are paying homage to our feathered, furry and four

legged friends.

Hosts Jade and Nathan bond over allergies on their datenight at Melbourne’s Cat

Café, while the Pavement philosopher asks the public about their most significant

encounters with animals. Jess Davis takes us inside the touching relationship

between assistance animals and their humans.

It’s magpie season -cough-

student election time at RMIT; listen to Harriet and Brendan’s wrap up of the

week that was for Politics on the Couch. Film extraordinaire Ash is back

bringing us a haunting review of ‘The Visit’.

The tenuous animal link continues with Bookclub as Alicia is joined by Harriet,

Jen and Max to discuss Sue Saliba’s new book ‘For the Forest of a Bird’.

Presented by Nathan Brown, Jade Bate,

Ashleigh McMillan and Rachael Dexter.
