The Deal With Animals with Marika S. Bell

Humans interact with animals every day of our lives: diet, wildlife, clothes and even medicines, are all intersections we often don’t think about.

This is a podcast about the interactions and connections between humans and non-human animals.

Our mission is to make research more accessible to the public while sharing the voices and lived experience of our human connection with animals.
