4:20 pm Animal protection and control and making sure there are facilities for their care, like the BARC parks, as well as encouraging pet adoptions is a big task in a city as large as Houston. Taking care of strays, promoting neutering drives and getting donations for those pets which are sheltered amounts to a huge effort by the Houston Animal Shelter and Adoption Center. We will talk with Cory Stottlemyer, who is a Deputy Shelter Director at the Bureau of Animal Regulation and Care (BARC) Houston Animal Shelter and Adoption Center and Director of Communications for Administration and Regulatory Affairs. He explains the magnitude of animal control in the Bayou City.

4:50 pm We turn to an animal lover who single-handedly has taken in stray dogs, often nurturing them to health, and placing them in caring homes. Ramesh Anand has become known among Desis for his dedication to caring for strays and the non-profit that he created for this effort. He has been on our show before and we’re delighted that he is joining us again to tell us of his ongoing lone-man efforts in Sugar Land.

5:10 pm You are never too young to love and care for animals and Yuvaanh Agarwal, a fifth grader in Houston, exemplifies that with his advocacy and music therapy for animals. Each week, Yuvi goes to local shelters in Houston – Houston Pets Alive! and Citizens for Animal Protection - to play the keyboard for the animals in their care. He recently launched Wild Tunes, music therapy for animals. He’s been featured in local and national media, including Good Morning America! and USA Today for his innovative program. He joins us with his mom Priyanka to explain how this therapy works on animals.

5:30 pm The Jaipur Literature Festival will return to Houston next weekend, September 15 through 17 at five venues across the city and will feature many writers - like Houstonian Chitra Divakaruni, Parini Shroff, Salil Tripathi, Priyamvada Natarajan and film maker Mira Nair - and panel discussions. One of those featured is journalist and writer Anjan Sundaram who is calling in from Mexico City to talk about his work as well as about the significance of the Festival.

4:20 pm As we get closer to the Annual Enrolment Period, which runs from October 15 through December 7, we turn once again to our monthly Medicare Insurance Broker Nutan Patel to explain this important passage and why it is so important to make informed choices that are available before signing up for Medicare.

4:50 pm Preparing for the death of a loved family member or friend is a task that many of us are seldom prepared for, especially if it happens suddenly and unexpectedly. Most of us don’t know the formalities that have to be dealt with when the last moment arrives or even when setting up hospice care. It is a grim reality that John Reyna, Senior Counsellor with Winford Funerals will explain and what he can offer to make preparations for the final journey less burdensome.
