In this week’s episode, Kate and Jenn take a look back on their last year with Kindred. We are so grateful for the support, growth, and all the amazing conversions we had in 2023.

We’ll be taking a short winter break but we’ll be back in January with more thought-provoking conversations with some exceptional humans to finish out this season.

From our hearts, we are so grateful to YOU the listeners!

And deepest gratitude to all our guests. You are why we do this podcast. Thank you for guiding us and teaching us how to better connect to animals and nature, and why it’s so critical that we do. Through your work, we see and feel the depth of beauty and power that this incredible planet holds, and we love it and want to protect it because of the light you shine on all things Mother Earth.

Lots of love to you, and all our kindred beings!

40. Healing A Broken Soul | A Conversation with Equine Veterinarian Dr. Farah ElMallah Dec 05, 2023

Show notes

In this week’s episode, we travel to Egypt and speak with equine veterinarian Dr. Farah ElMallah. What an absolute joy to speak with such an intelligent, driven, and passionate human about her work healing some of the most broken animals in the world: the horses and donkeys of the working and tourism industries.

Farah explained so clearly why specific kinds of work (and how much is asked of these hard-working animals) are so brutal for them. All too often she has seen the broken spirits in the eyes of horses and donkeys. And if you know horses at all you’ll know the beauty and majesty of their true spirit, and you’ll know the heartbreak of a horse with a broken soul.

Please listen and share this episode. These animals need our compassion and we can help! Never use animals bound to the tourism industry.

Deep gratitude to Dr. Farah ElMallah for her dedication and in healing and supporting equines for the quality of life they deserve!

Lots of Love

39. Building An ARK | A Conversation with Dawood Mohammad, Founder of Animal Rescue Kashmir Nov 29, 2023

Show notes

In this week’s episode, we speak with Dawood Mohammad, founder of Animal Rescue Kashmir (ARK) about how and why he started doing rescue work in Kashmir, and the often heartbreaking relentless experience of helping the dogs, horses, cats, and other animals on the streets of Kashmir. We were deeply moved and struck by his account, and where he finds the strength to keep doing this work at whatever cost to him. Here in the US, it’s the season of giving and gratitude and it’s times like this that we lend our focus to helping others especially. ARK needs support in the form of volunteers, but mostly from those of us oceans away, they need donations. Please consider donating, even just $5, to this cause. There is never a day that ARK is operating above water and Dawood needs our help. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us with any questions at thekindredpod@gmail.com. Thank you so much for listening, and considering a donation. A secure link will be in the show notes and on our website. Lots of Love.

38. The Cheetah's Longest Race | A Conversation with Dr. Laurie Marker Nov 07, 2023

Show notes

In this week’s conversation, we speak with Dr. Laurie Marker, founder and executive director of the Cheetah Conservation Fund (CCF). Dr. Marker walks us through the history of the plight of cheetahs, and how she and CCF have saved this exquisite species from certain near extinction to now introducing them to places around the world where the cheetah has long been absent. Dr. Marker tells us about the incredible programs working to solve the human-wildlife conflict in the context of cheetahs, and the enterprising ways CCF is educating and supporting local farmers. We loved hearing about the breeding and training program with Anatolian shepherd dogs, a Turkish guard dog, to help protect local farmers’ flocks, but wait, did she say…..guardian DONKEYS?

Listen here and fall in love with this incredible success story in the making and how one woman made it her life mission to save this vulnerable, beautiful, and iconic cat.

Thanks again to Laurie and CCF!

Lots of Love.

37. Kindred Souls: Octopuses, Turtles, and Authors | A Conversation with author Sy Montgomery Oct 24, 2023

Show notes

In this week’s episode, we speak with (multiple-time!) bestselling author, Sy Montgomery about her deep connection, understanding, and passion for animals.

We were lucky enough to have this conversion on the day her most recent book launched, titled, Of Time and Turtles: Mending the World, Shell by Shattered Shell. In this book, Sy gives us an intimate gaze into the world of the turtle and inspires us to save and protect this incredible animal, one that’s quiet and stoic, has bursts of humor and speed, moments of sweetness and love, and an overall sense of longevity, steadiness, and a deep understanding of time.

For us, Sy Montgomery embodies Kindred and is an inspiration and lamplighter in a time when this planet needs as many enlightened leaders as possible.

Also, please check out Matt Patterson and his amazing artwork. He was the illustrator for Of Time and Turtles!

Thanks so much to Sy Montgomery!

Lots of Love.

36. Ravens: The Flying Primates | A Conversation with Cognitive Zoologist Dr. Mathias Osvath Aug 15, 2023

Show notes

In this week’s episode, we speak with Dr. Mathias Osvath, Cognitive Zoologist at Lund University about all things corvids and specifically the raven. We’ve known how smart these birds are but, um, did not realize HOW smart! You will never look at a crow, magpie, jay, nutcracker, jackdaw, rook, or raven (all corvids) the same after listening to this conversation.

Thank you to Dr. Osvath for taking a super brainy subject and breaking it down for us on Kindred so that we can understand how and why corvids are so intelligent. And the part where he talks about a baby raven practicing their little raven croak in a corner by themselves?….Unbearably cute. Plus many more incredible anecdotes.

Lots of Love

35. Tiny Wild Cats | A Conversation with Dr. Wai-Ming Wong, Panthera’s Director of Small Cat Conservation Science Aug 01, 2023

Show notes

In this week’s episode, we speak with Dr. Wai-Ming Wong, the director of small cat conservation science for the organization Panthera. Dr. Wong introduces us to only a few of the 33 small wild cat species (there’s a fishing cat?!?) and breaks down why we know so little about them! We love learning about the little ones out there, and it turns out these small creatures have BIG lives and personalities.

Grateful to Dr. Wong for explaining why small wild cats are so important and why, often, it's these types of animals that are a real barometer for the health of an ecosystem and a gauge on the state of climate change. We are so charmed by these two-and-a-half-pound cats, and who wouldn’t be with a kill rate of 60%! Not many animals can boast that! And maybe don’t let your house cats listen…they might get jealous.

Lots of Love.

34. Wilding England’s Forests | A Conversation with Rachel Gardner, Conservation Translocations Officer for Forestry England Jul 18, 2023

Show notes

In this week’s episode, we speak with Rachel Gardner, the conservation translocation officer for the executive agency Forestry England, about her job in species reintroductions.

Rachel takes us on a walk back in time into England’s ancient forests and shows us what the future of forests and the landscape could look like. She talks about her work in species reintroductions and recovery projects with their Forest Wilding Programs, and the delicate but critical balance that’s needed to restore the health and diversity of forests and landscapes across the island of England. Forestry England says that “measuring and monitoring change” should be the bedrock of the larger plan and looking well into the future and what can be established now is critical to a successful plan.

You could call this episode “Forests & Fairytales” after listening to Rachel tell the story of England’s forests over time. There is something magical there, and saving these spaces of ancient beauty not only for us but for the creatures that live there is worth the incredible effort that Forestry England is making.

A fairy tale worth telling for centuries to come.

Lots of Love
