Alan Alda’s podcast, Clear and Vivid

Sy will be on Alan Alda’s podcast, Clear and Vivid. Here’s a preview at about 16:20 until 27:26, after Tom Hanks and Paul McCartney. Alan Alda has this to say about Sy: “She’s wonderful. She has that ability to communicate with animals just by standing there and looking at them, and they want to come over to her.”

Sy introduces Alan Alda to Rudy at the the New England Aquarium.

Maria’s Mutts & Stuff

Sy enjoyed talking with Maria Milito, an advocate for animal rights who can be heard daily on Q104.3 New York’s midday show. Now she has her own podcast, Maria’s Mutts & Stuff. Sy provided the “stuff,” talking about octos, pink dolphins, man eating tigers and man-eating tigers. That’s a lot of cool “stuff.” Listen here.
