Wild Time is back on March 1st 2012 from 10pm GMT.

This month Wild Time's Thomas Janak talked to many people involved in animal rescue and care:

Chester-born Sarah Heaney who is currently in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia talked to WT about "Tabuk Paws", an effort to spay and neuter wild and stray cats in Saudi Arabia. The show continues in the same vain as the conversation with Lucy Snowleopard also revolves around cats.

Wild Time also re-connected with Asociatja Pethope's Alina Vacaru who urgently need funding for their spay/neuter and care clinic.

Last but not least Thomas talked to Shelly Carter who works with an animal charity in India where she had the pleasure and task to look after an orphaned macaque.

Many of the mentioned interviews can be re-enjoyed on our online version!

The show also features an interview with Dean Bracher who organises this years' World Day for animals in laboratories, which will take place in Birmingham on Saturday April 28th.

Furthermore Wild Time host Thomas Janak spoke with Lucy Byrne from Earthrace UK about their recent protest at the Australian house in London re the dugong and turtle killings in Australia.

Awakening the trees

2012-01-21T03:57:00.001-08:00

The natural world project invited all to a family event, an age-old English tradition to "wake" the fruit trees from their winter sleep.

Wild Time attended and spoke with many people and also enjoyed the music and dance performances at the Orchard.

The velvet orchard is situated at the Witton lakes. Regular listeners may remember Linda Hines from the witton lakes being on Wild Time as a studio guest in 2011.

On air date for the footage recorded at the orchard to be confirmed.

WILD TIME MONTHLY

2012-01-16T03:45:00.000-08:00

Although, as previously mentioned, we won't be on air weekly anymore WILD TIME is still going and there will be a "Wild Time Monthly" show on TCR FM - dates and times tbc.

Wild Time put on hold

2012-01-10T05:01:00.000-08:00

Last year Wild Time delivered 86 shows between the TCR FM output and my online version and we travelled to Tamworth, London, Bradford, Leamington Spa and a few other places and did lots of skype interviews and attended numerous events.

Good fun!

The show sort of turned into a full time job.

This year I have much less time and have in fact not recorded a single interview thus far (although some are planned) and I do not have enough footage to put out and not nearly enough time to record something.

Therefore I have to put Wild Time on hold for the time being. A specialised show like mine is quite tough to keep going and I wouldn't want to play more songs than interviews to fill the gaps.

There will be "the odd interview" on wildtime online of course.

Animals and the environment need a voice and Wild Time shall continue to provide one albeit it less frequently.

Thanks to TCR FM and all listeners for your support.

Please visit wildtime online for future interviews.

Kind regards

Thomas Janak
WILD TIME host/producer

Merry Christmas and a happy new year

December 5th 2011: Medical doctor Victoria Martindale who specialises in working with primates these days will be live in the studio to talk about the vivsection industry and why animal tests don't work.

The show also features an interview with Gawain Beste from CAFT about their anti fur protests in London.

December 12th 2011: Wild Time in conversation with Marta Curti from Whitehawk Birdwatching about eco tourism as the way forward in conservation. The show will also feature another great conversation:

Pet Hope will humbly tell you that "We are 10-20 people that came together out of love for animals. Our animal protection association was founded in April 2010. We focus on spay & neuter, education and emergencies."

How hard their work really is is often not known or understood. Here and now we have the possibility to really find out what the situation is in Romania as we talk to lawyer Ruxandra Bizera.

December 19th 2011: Wild Time is bringing you an update on Morgan the orca. A court has recently ruled to keep him in captivity and ship him to an amusement park to perform. The show explores the question whether or not there is anything that can be done for Morgan at this point in time. Lara Pozzato from the Free Morgan Foundation talked to Wild Time in-depth about Morgan.

Musicians Lisa Stern and Eric Spitzer - Marlyn will also be on air talking about their involvement in the documentary film "Yasuni - two minutes of life"

Last, but not least, Thomas Janak also recently spoke with Gerald Leedham from ecohomes UK about sustainible building and ecologically viable solutions to costs and material and more. This interview concludes this years' shows!

peace restored ...

2011-08-31T09:54:00.000-07:00

Big sigh of relief!!

WILD TIME to leave TCR FM

2011-08-30T05:28:00.000-07:00

After replying to a posting about feather extensions on the official TCR FM facebook page I have been told publicly by TCR FM on the facebook wall to "take my opinions elsewhere".

I post facts NOT opinions and have decided to leave TCR FM since they clearly don't want me there.

Remember, we still have wildtime online and the interviews and topics will keep on coming!

My aologies to all my regular listeners on TCR FM - please visit us HERE, where the battle for animal rights will continue.

Revised September/October 2011 schedule

2011-08-17T04:11:00.000-07:00

WILD TIME returns to the airwaves from mid September 2011 onwards - this autumn/winter will be very exciting, thought provoking and informative (as usual):

SEPTEMBER 2011

September, 19th 2011 – Wild Time talks to HOPE founder Anthony Marr about animal rights, climate change and overpopulation among other things.

Anthony Marr has a degree in physics and is the author of 2 books (OMNI-SCIENCE and the Human Destiny, 2003; Homo Sapiens! SAVE YOUR EARTH!!, 2008). In 1999, he founded Heal Our Planet Earth (HOPE). In 2009, he founded the Global Anti-Hunting Coalition (GAHC). He was recently honored with the title of "Best All Around Activist of 2010" by NIH. He was also honored at the 2010 Animal Rights National Conference with the prestigious Henry Spira Grassroots Activist Award "for his outstanding contribution in animal liberation."

The show also features an interview with Merit C. Markus who is involved in spaying/neutering stray dogs in Sri Lanka via Canine Life Support.

September, 26th 2011 – The Chinese Threat! While making it very, very clear that the very real threat of “the new China” to conservation and animal- as well as human life is NOT directed towards the common Chinese citizen, it is non the less crucial to talk facts about China and its impact on our planet.

Wild Time speaks to conservationist and undercover investigator Mary Perry who currently runs the Rainsong sanctuary in Costa Rica.

This intense conversation touches on quite a number of topics. To back up Mary’s claims and observations please feel free to check the links* below.

No Wild Time on Rhubarb Radio

2011-08-16T07:00:00.000-07:00

Rhubarb Radio just withdrew their offer to air Wild Time via Rhubarb Radio.

Apparently some of their sponsors felt that topics like "Bestiality" (animal abuse - sex with animals) are too daring to be explored on air.

We're very sorry that Rhubarb Radio (after agreeing to having Wild Time on their station and after meeting to discuss what the show is about)feels that way and ulitimately rejects Wild Time.

Wild Time goes out as usual via TCR FM and online.

Our apologies for making such a fuzz about moving to a second home but the decision is obviously out of our hands.

September 2011 Schedule

2011-08-12T02:57:00.001-07:00

Wild Time will be back on air on TCR FM, who are from now on co-broadcasting the Wild Time shows that will come from our befriended radio station Rhubarb Radio, on September 19th as usual from 8pm

September, 19th 2011 – The first Wild Time show broadcast from Birmingham-based Rhubarb Radio talks to HOPE founder Anthony Marr about animal rights, climate change and overpopulation among other things.

Anthony Marr has a degree in physics and is the author of 2 books (OMNI-SCIENCE and the Human Destiny, 2003; Homo Sapiens! SAVE YOUR EARTH!!, 2008).

A long time anti-hunting activist, he led an anti-hunting campaign in Canada which necessitated him to debate 100 hunters at time over 40 times, to build a volunteer team of 1800. A wildlife preservationist since 1995, his work in India garnered him the title of "Champion of the Bengal Tiger" in the award-winning TV-documentary series "Champions of the Wild" aired on Discovery Channel and Animal Planet in 20 countries. Anthony has conducted 7 Compassion for Animals Road Expeditions (CARE tours) throughout the United States and Canada, each lasting 30-45 state in 4-7 months. He has conducted numerous high-profile campaigns against the seal and bear hunts in Canada, deer culls and sea lion exterminations in the United States.

The show also features an interview with Merit C. Merkus who is involved in spaying/neutering stray dogs in Sri Lanka via Canine Life Support

September, 26th 2011 – The Chinese Threat! While making it very, very clear that the very real threat of “the new China” to conservation and animal- as well as human life is NOT directed towards the common Chinese citizen, it is non the less crucial to talk facts about China and its impact on our planet.

Wild Time speaks to conservationist and undercover investigator Mary Perry who currently runs the Rainsong sanctuary in Costa Rica.

This intense conversation touches on quite a number of topics. For more information pls also visit the new blog

WILD TIME CO-BROADCAST

2011-07-29T02:28:00.001-07:00

Good News - Although WILD TIME will in the future be broadcast from the Birmingham-based radio station Rhubarb radio, TCR FM will co-broadcast the show meaning that there ARE NO CHANGES TO THE ON AIR TIME OF WILD TIME ON TCR FM.

We will be back as usual on TCR FM on Monday, September 19th 2011 from 8pm.

For future guests, info and shows please visit our new blog HERE

Wild Time goes Rhubarb

2011-07-27T09:55:00.000-07:00

WILD TIME will in the future be broadcast globally from Birmingham based station Rhubarb Radio. From Wednesday, September 14th 2011 onwards the show will be broadcast globally weekly at the same time.

Wild Time host/producer Thomas Janak lives in Birmingham, which means that his travelling time and costs are dramatically reduced and that is the reason why Wild Time will change stations.

Wild Time has asked TCR FM to co-broadcast the show in the future. Should the answer to that question be YES we will announce it on this blog.

We want to thank all non online listeners for their support and hope that all our regular online listeners will join us on Rhubarb Radio.

July 2011 Schedule

2011-06-27T06:55:00.000-07:00

July will be yet another exciting month as we are giving you "food for thought" as we are exploring fasting and raw food diets as well as other things!

July 4th 2011 - The killing of sharks and the state of our oceans: Wild Time had the pleasure of talking to a marine expert who has decades of experience in his field. Meet Erik Brush for a down to earth conversation. When it comes to our oceans and its wildlife it becomes clear rather quickly that we need to act now or we are truly doomed. Do not miss this.

July 11th 2011 - you are what you eat!: Now this is something special and a tad extreme for some BUT fascinating nonetheless. Wild time spoke to Loren Lockman from the Tanglewood Wellness Ctr. in Panama about fasting (and literally not eating for up to six weeks) and clearing out the system. Furthermore, we spoke with the magnificient and radiant Drew McCall Burke about "living raw".

July 18th 2011 - Forbidden Archeology: What IF Darwin was only partially right? What If the human race is much older than most people think and what IF there is even proof out there to support such claims? Well, look no further. Wild Time spoke with Michael Cremo about his book "Forbidden Archeology" and his findings and much more!

July 25th 2011 - The Bhagavad Gita for everybody: On Wild Time we are quite often opening up to spirituality as a means to ultimately save our planet. Listen to a wonderful conversation with Visakha Dasi who found her calling on a mountain top in Nepal in 1971 and changed her life round 100%.

WILD TIME will be on a summer break in August and will be back on air on the first Monday in September 2011.

Wild Time Live Event June 25th 2011

2011-06-25T14:45:00.001-07:00

After three years on air and 168 aired shows it was about time for Wild Time's very first live event, which took place on Saturday June 25th 2011 at the youth centre in Tamworth where TCR FM broadcasts from.

"A critical look at animal testing" was the topic and animal rights campaigner Jon White spoke about ethical and scientific reasons for not testing on animals.

During the event a 26-minutes DVD about alternative methods of testing was screened courtesy of the Safer Medicines Trust who were on WILD TIME not too long ago.

Although the bad weather and the halfterm meant fewer bums on seats as expected, the audience was attentive and the event lively.

More live events will hopefully follow soon.

TCR FM station manager Daniel Hoult and his mother Margaret were in the audience

Animal Rights Campaigner Jon White delivered a powerful speech

The final show this month goes out as usual on Monday, June 27th 2011:

In conversation with Malgorzata Desmond - a dietician specialising in the research on plant-based vegan nutrition.

Malgorzata has a degree in Nutritional Medicine from the University of West London and Masters in Dietetics from the Warsaw Medical University. She has also graduated from the Course in Nutritional Epidemiology from the Imperial College London.

She is a nutritionist and a researcher at the Children’s Memorial Health Institute in Warsaw, and a nutritionist at the Carolina Medical Center in Warsaw, where she is setting up a Center of Nutritional Medicine

The show also features footage from the Leamington Spa Peace Festival and includes interviews with Crystal Healer Michelle Dubok, people of the Bahai Faith, thoughts on community feeding, recycling and how not to waste food.

Peace!!

2011-06-18T15:27:00.000-07:00

Japan Tsunami Appeal

2011-03-14T15:35:00.001-07:00

Japan has often been a topic on WILD TIME and we have always made sure to mention that not everybody in Japan is a dolphin killer or worse. In fact, many very nice and courageous Japanese people like CFT's Kozue Watanabe and Masami Mizuguchi or SSCS activist Noro Yorakawa were engaging guests on the show.

Best-selling author Masaru Emoto (Hidden Messages in Water) will be talking to WILD TIME soon.

Like so many people around the globe, we too are shocked and saddened by the recent Tsunami in Japan and the devastation this has brought to the land of the rising sun.

While we are very happy to report that many of our Japanse friends appear to be safe for the moment we would like to ask all our listeners and supporters to help if they can by donating.

2010 - a year in review

2011-01-04T03:26:00.001-08:00

67 shows in 2010 – last year was indeed WILD TIME’s wildest year to date. We have been on many different stations in 2010 (DIGITAL HUB FM,TGIF, DSFM, TCR FM), our online version flourished and for a short while we even added a video version to WILD TIME.

WILD TIME met and talked to the most engaging and courageous guests, which included, among others, 9 year old Jack Lanting, acting legend Rutger Hauer, Whitney Hillmann, Oriana Kalama, Colin Ridell, Dave Wawak, Steve Best, Matt Ellerbeck as well as numerous animal rights groups from Animal Equality to the league against cruelt sports, Sea Shepherd, Hunt Sabs and many more.

We celebrated our 100th show in summer 2010 in Dublin, put together a 4 week anti-whaling special and brought you a 4 – hour special on the international animal rights day and more.

Our listeners responded well, making WILD TIME a truly global show with over 800 fans on the facebook™ page and nearly 6000 visits to our blogs.

Due to the high number of interviews and footage, not all shows can be archived, yet there are many shows still online to be enjoyed and shared.

We’re back on air on January 10th 2010 with an additional show on Fridays (January only) and more great guests.

Thanks for listening and please keep supporting the show in the new year!

Click on the picture to enlarge the content of this jam-packed special broadcast. From 12pm to 4p.m. WILD TIME will bring you important, informative and interesting footage, which includes an interview with Colin Ridell who works relentlessly to put an end to the uncontrolled killings of dugongs and turtles in his native Australia.

He works closely with Bob Irwin, father of the late Steve Irwin. Bob kindly sent us a hand-signed copy of the book "My mate Steve", which you can win on the day.

But there is so much more going on during the 4-part special. We are thrilled to announce that both Dublin South FM (WILD TIME's old home) as well as Preston FM are highlighting the day using WILD TIME material. A heartfelt THANK YOU to these great stations.

13.12.2010 – Part IV of the 4-part anti-whaling special. The final part features an in-depth interview with Mary Viriakis who organised the anti whaling day event in Melbourne, Australia. WILD TIME also spoke to activist Maik Schaffer who attended the protest in Berlin (Germany)

20.12.2010 Leanan Sidhe talks to Thomas Janak about wild and domesticated rats in an attempt to dispell the myths. Given that 95 % of all animals in laboratories are mice and rats, this conversation was long overdue.

The show also features a short interview with Karl Goodsell, who is going to spend four months as a "Cove Guardian" in Taiji/Japan, where the dolphin and whale killings are happening "traditionally" between September and March.

We will be off air over the Christmas/New Year festivities and the first show in 2011 will go out live on January 10th 2011.

In early 2011 we will have Sally Barton-Bodley and Travy Lloyds as live guests, will have a phone conversation with Allie Green from "dangerous dogs", who is advocating an end to breed specific legislation. WILD TIME supports that cause wholeheartedly.

There is more in the pipeline BUT we can't reveal all just yet!!

* - Rutger Hauer, an avid Sea Shepherd supporter, has agreed to talk to WILD TIME as well. Watch this space

01) Monday, November 22nd 2010 – Part I will air footage recorded during the anti whaling day protest in London (UK). The footage includes many great and compassionate interviews with attendees.

Maria Heidemann who attended the event in Duesseldorf with acting legend Rutger Hauer

03) Monday, December 6th 2010 – Part III will feature an interview with Judith Wouters, whose 120 page dissertation about whaling in Japan provides powerful clues as to how to attempt to change the situation. WILD TIME also spoke to stilts walker Maria Heidemann (pictured), who attended the protest in Duesseldorf (Germany). Maria is currently involved in making a documentary about dolphins. She also received a special mention award for her short movie “Don Justo” by no other than actor Rutger Hauer.

04) Monday, December 13th 2010 – Part IV. The final part features an in-depth interview with Mary Viriakis who organised the anti whaling day event in Melbourne, Australia. WILD TIME also spoke to activist Maik Schaffer who attended the protest in Berlin (Germany)

The footage is not as straight forward as you might think and well worth checking out!

Date for your diary: WORLDWIDE FUR FREE FRIDAY 2010 November 26th 2010

2010-10-16T17:44:00.000-07:00

Worldwide Fur Free Friday (WFFF) is one of largest global days of action in the history of animal rights organizations. We have had rallies numbering up to 120 locations around the world; held on the Friday that is the beginning of the big holiday sales.

Simultaneous rallies worldwide, in one united voice to save the voiceless victims of the cruel fur trade.
...
This is your chance to add your voice! Contact your local animal rights movement and ask them about their plans for WFFF; if they haven’t planned a rally, ask them to plan one, offer your help.
If you need help and/or ideas for your rally please contact us at: www.antifurcoalition.org

The Goal is to inform the public of the true face of fur and about the millions of innocent fur bearing animals who are slaughtered each year, many skinned alive, including dogs and cats, all in the name of fashion fur, whether it is for a coat, a trim, for a toy or trinket! They live in torturous fur farms, going mad in filthy tiny wire cages and exposed to the elements or trapped in torment until they die alone or are killed skinned alive!
Join in this year’s WFFF and help put an end to their anguish!!!
Important points of attention for this year’s action are:
I Our victories across the globe:
1) Fur farms closing down in many nations
2) Local bans on the fur trade already passed and on the table to be passed as soon possible
3) More and more shops and chain shops removing fur from shelves for good.
4) Designers taking the pledge not to use fur
5) More and more people pledging to go fur free due to growing global awareness
II The fur industry is running scared
They fighting back and as to be expected, they fight dirty;
1) Spreading the rumor that ‘fur is making a comeback’, getting moral-less designers and celebrities to promote fur. Notice that they are but a few and the celebrities are disparate has-beens trying to make a big noise for money
2) But truth-be-told fur is being phased out and fast too!
3) The writing is on the wall and all the morally literate can read it!!!
III You could list of some of the above mentioned points (from ‘I’) on your banners and/or announcements.
Please give us as soon as possible the details of your local rally to put on our official list to enable activists to find the nearest rally to join, increasing our united call to end the cruel fur trade There will soon be a link on our site: www.antifurcoalition.org to upload the details of your rally,
The required details are:
1) Country/city
2) Date and time (if you must, you can hold the rally on a date near the 26th of November too; e.g. Thursday 25th /Saturday 27th /Sunday 28th)
3) Name of contact person
4) Name of organization
5) Contact details: email/website/phone number
Suggestions and ideas to be used at rallies:
The below can be used in any combination that you see fit and that is acceptable at your rally.

1) Have activists come dressed in black and/or red; and/or as fur bearing animals;
2) They could be in costume, mask or body painting (some could represent the poor animal after being skinned)
3) Have activists holding candles and/or place candles around a mock memorial
4) Set up info tables, having leaflets, anti fur t-shirts and the like…
5) Have a screening (on a laptop/ portable DVD/ movie screen) of the true face of fur with a recording broadcasting the cries of the animals beings skinned!
6) Have a petition to sign
7) And of course, banners, posters, presentations showing the true face of fur!
8) Have someone give a speech on the true face of fur
9) Have all media at your rally to report!

Ideas for slogans:

1) ‘IF YOU BUY, THEY WILL DIE!!’
2) A POSTER SHOWING A FURRY MAMMAL “MY COAT IS MY BIRTHRIGHT! … WHAT RIGHT DO YOU HAVE?”
3) (SHOWING SKINNED ANIMAL) “UNFURGIVABLE!!”
4) FUR ON YOUR BACK, BLOOD ON YOUR HANDS!
5) ONLY BEAUTIFUL ANIMALS AND UGLY PEOPLE WEAR FUR
6) POSTER SHOWING A FURRY MAMMAL ‘BEFORE AND AFTER’- “LIFE IN PRISON AND DEATH SENTENCE; FOR YOUR GREED!”
7) FUR IS BACKWARDS, BARBARIC AND BRUTAL!”
8) (SHOWING SKINNED ANIMAL) “SKINNED ALIVE FOR FASHION, TRIM, TOYS AND TRINKETS!”
10) ALIENS KILLING & WEARING HUMAN SKIN/ HAIR - SAYING “IT’S OK; THEY ARE LESS EVOLVED THAN US!”
11) (SHOWING SKINNED ANIMAL) “FASHION VICTIM!!”
12) “FUR IS NOT MANUFACTURED – FUR IS BORN!!”
