Yap, Yap, YAPS | ETM-Anne Ingalls Gillespie Show 78

ETM welcomes dear friend, creator and president of YAPS© (Youth and Pet Survivors), Anne Ingalls Gillespie, to the show. YAPS© is a pen pal program that matches pediatric cancer patients with dogs and cats who have survived cancer or other serious medical conditions. 


ETM welcomes dear friend, creator and president of YAPS© (Youth and Pet Survivors), Anne Ingalls Gillespie, to the show. YAPS© is a pen pal program that matches pediatric cancer patients with dogs and cats who have survived cancer or other serious medical conditions. 

After finding out a little about Anne and having fun talking about Star Trek, Edward T wants to know: does a program like this really help with the health of human (as well as a pet) or is this just some new-agey, namby-pamby way of avoiding the issue of cancer?  You may be surprised with the answer.

Then, Edward T presents a Media Minute, featuring the "Up Series" and "49 Up" a series of films that Edward T feels shows the best of humanity, just as the YAPS program does.  And it also backs up ETM's belief that many of us, if not most of us, know exactly what we want to do by the time a child is seven years old.

High on Stress! | ETM-Hilary Kemp 77

Getting rid of all stress is just a myth, and some of it may be good for you, according to Hilary. Say what? Isn't stress, all stress supposed to be bad for you? Find out!


Getting rid of all stress is just a myth, and some of it may be good for you, according to Hilary. Say what?

First, Edward T kicks it off by playing a message from their phone line (660-386-0077), a call from a less than enthused listener who has less than stellar things to say about guest Annie Savoy from show #74.  

ETM then tells Hilary about the passing of .Dr. Robert Adler, a pioneer in field of stress research.  Edward T relates that he is stressed out over his current situation, but Hilary says that the myth that all stress must go away, and that stress is not all bad. Say what?

Hilary presents a Science Minute, telling Edward T about suicide at a micro level. Huh? True story.  And then Edward T lays on Hilary the show "Portlandia" on the Media Minute, as well as the intro them to the show, a song by Washed Out called "Feel It All Around"..

Dr. Robert Adler's Obituary

Book referenced by Hilary:
Joyful Wisdom by Mingyur Rinpoche, Tibetan Buddhist master
