From the thunderous charge of warhorses to the silent glide of Navy dolphins, animals have played crucial—and sometimes surprising—roles in warfare throughout history. In this episode of Man Eaters, we explore the incredible stories of military animals who carried supplies, delivered vital messages, sniffed out bombs, and even parachuted into battle. We also dive into some of the strangest and most bizarre animal experiments ever attempted by the military, from bat bombs to spy cats.

This week on Man Eaters, we’re taking a detour from deadly beasts and into the wild world of your problems. In a special advice segment inspired by James’ old show Advice City, listeners write in with their stickiest dilemmas—from dating disasters and friendship feuds to workplace weirdness and truly cursed situations—and James responds with the wisdom of a man who’s spent too much time researching apex predators. It’s heartfelt, it’s hilarious, and—let’s be honest—it’s slightly unhinged. Got a problem? Maybe a man who knows all about killer animals can help.

In this episode of Man Eaters, we dive deep into the lives of two remarkable Indian elephants—Arikomban and Padayappa. Known as “tuskers,” these giants navigate a shrinking wilderness, blurring the line between wild and urban. From Arikomban’s infamous raids on rice stores to Padayappa’s calm strolls through busy towns, their stories reveal the complex and often heartbreaking conflict between humans and elephants in India. Join us as we explore their journeys, their impact, and what they teach us about coexistence on the edge of the wild.

In the chilling conclusion of our three-part series, we dig into the most shocking and tragic fatal dog attacks in Canadian history.

With a mix of empathy and dark humoUr, we examine what these fatal encounters reveal about the dogs, the people, and the country they share. It’s the last bite... and it leaves a mark.
