I love this piece, partly because it's so short. I hear a lot of radio pieces that are very wordy, which is fine, but an occasional short musical break like this allows time to process everything.

Comment for "The Nature of Elephants"

Very relevant information

Very relevant information, especially with what I've been reading about how elephants are abused for tourists, and in circuses. Great storytelling by Susan!

Sweet and touching

Another poignant story from David...I look forward to future installments.

Comment for "Penny the cat: Her message from beyond"

You can tell that this is true by the way David Louis delivers the information. something about his style of delivery is so refreshing and unpretentious. The fact that he says this is high on the "woo-woo" scale cracked me up, and the story was moving and very real.
I'd love to hear more of this material, even if I'm not 100% convinced. It's a great subject to think about, and one not often spoken of.

Comment for "Can Anyone Do This?"

Great communicating, great radio!

I happen to love the way David Louis relates his stories. You can tell his sincerity is 100%, and the subject matter is fascinating to me, as a lover of animals. This is great addition to this series. A great ending too, to go right into a piece of music!

Comment for "On Insects and Humility"

Excellent!

This piece made me think about insects in a whole new light. I think the story of humility and empathy, and how the image of the praying mantis is the oldest symbol of God are things that would not be heard elsewhere. I'd love to hear more from this program (For Kindred Spirits), and hope it can be made into a series! Top notch radio all around.

Comment for "On Seeing a Porcupine"

Fantastic!

I'll say it again...I love the way David Louis tells his stories. So refreshing and real...and very moving too!
One of the best series I've heard in a long time.

Comment for ""What about Nicknames?""

Priceless!

I love this series...the way it comes out of the blue, the delivery, and the subjects! More please!

Comment for "Floyd the Miniature Horse"

WoW

I am loving this whole series...this story I found particularly moving and bittersweet..

Comment for "Zack the Retriever"

Another great David Louis story

His delivery is so fresh and genuine, and the story is great to listen to.

Comment for "Doggy Boot Camp"

Great story well told!

I love David Louis' natural delivery, and the subjects he speaks about! Would love to hear more!

Review of For Kindred Spirits

Someone suggested that as an animal lover, I listen this show. It is amazing, both in terms of content and production. The transitions are masterful, and the show takes music bridges to an astounding new level. This program made me chuckle and made me cry. I hope stations will offer this show to their listeners. There is a huge market for a series like this, without question. A remarkable concept, an important subject, and a creative and powerful use of radio.

Comment for "Elephants - 6 Minutes of Fact and Story"

Elephant Story from Paul Messing <

As I am listening to audio about elephants, I have heard a few elephant-related pieces lately. This one is refreshingly real and engaging, and full of relevant information. This is not a script being read, but stories from the heart, from people who really care. It all comes across. The story that Susan Chernak McElroy tells after we hear from Carol Buckley is told so well, and carries a great deal of emotion. A great combination of stories and voices, including the music that wraps up this piece so well. Top notch.

Comment for "Are Humans Driving Elephants Mad?"

Driving Elephants Mad? Generic radio...

I found this piece to be extremely generic, taking on a timely and complex topic in a predictable and uninspired way. It was obvious that the speaker was reading as script, and the depth of insight the script offers is ...not deep. At least the audio quality was good, if not the content.

Comment for "On Being Thankful - for Cancer & for a Cat"

Review of Being Thankful/Cancer/Cat

I thought was a great Thanksgiving piece. Great use of music and good reminders of things to be thankful for, especially for us animal lovers!

Review of Thanksgiving Story

This piece struck me in its simplicity, and I could relate very much to the storyteller. I like the fact that it wasn't embellished with sound effects. Very simple and moving.
