Got this the other day on behalf of the people who bring you “Animal Magnet Pet Radio.” Personally, I prefer to read me, but then again, I don’t have guests and you can listen to these guys at work without anyone knowing, which is hard to do with a blog. So I give you permission to listen. Just remember where you learned about it

First, before their release, I didn’t have time to find a good pic of a cat or dog listening to the radio, so here’s my alternative photo offerings…..

Take it away pet radio people…

According to the American Veterinary Medical Association, there are 72 million pet dogs and 82 million pet cats in America. And this does not even include all the other types of pets that people have, including fish, rabbits, and others. Now pet parents have a radio program on the Progressive Radio Network (PRN), called “Animal Magnet Pet Radio,” which is dedicated to dishing up advice, news and opinions about animals and pets.

“Pets are a part of our society and of our lives, but until now it’s been hard to find unbiased talk shows that discuss them,” explains Gary Null, an award-winning talk show host, notable author and the founder of PRN. “Listeners can tune in to our animal show and be entertained and informed, all at the same time.”

“Animal Magnet Pet Radio” is hosted by Deborah Wolfe, a bestselling author, columnist, and television animal trainer. Listeners can tune in to the show online at www.progressiveradionetwork.com, each Tuesday at 1 p.m. EST. The show focuses on animal news, issues, opinions, pet weight, animal barking, advice, and pet jokes, as well as addressing pet issues from listeners. They also discuss hot-button issues, such as Michael Vick’s dog fighting, as well as wildlife news, like coyote and wolf kill programs.

Other shows on the PRN platform cover such issues as the environment, autism, progressive politics, animals and pets, cultural affairs, mindful living, vegetarianism, and women’s health, as well as health and wellness. The program is supported by listeners, rather than advertisers, allowing the hosts to exercise their freedom of speech.

“People love to hear information about their pets and get a chance to have their own questions and concerns addressed,” adds Null. “We provide a community for pet lovers to come together and focus on the one part of their family that usually doesn’t get much media attention.”
