on KPFK, the Pacifica station in Los Angeles, on Monday's at 2pm, starting 
today, March 1. Janee Taylor is producing the series and I will be hosting.

Santa Barbara on 98.7. If you are not in range you can listen live on line, 
anywhere in the world, at 2pm US Pacific Time, 5pm Eastern:

Since no issue affects more animals than diet, and because the Atkins 
phenomenon has had such an impact on American diets in recent years, we are 
kicking off our series with a discussion of the Atkins diet, and the 
controversy around the release of Atkins's medical records.

Our live guests will be:


-- Dr Neal Barnard, president of the Physicians Committee for Responsible 
Medicine, the group that leaked the report to the Wall Street Journal 
(http://www.PCRM.org )

-- Mary Finelli, from Farmed Animal Net, who will talk about the Atkins 
diet, animal suffering, and the environment (http://www.FarmedAnimal.net )

-- And Dr John McDougall, a nutrition expert, who will talk about the danger 
of high protein diets for human health: ( http://www.drmcdougall.com/ )


And we will air a brief interview with Michael Fumento, a science writer 
whose investigation of the hospital reports throws doubt on explanations 
provided by the Atkins empire about the state of Atkins’s health.

In the second half of the show we will take callers. Please call with 
questions or comments for our guests. The call-in number is: (818) 985-5735

Yours and the animals',
