Wayne Pacelle – The Bond
Conversations with David Lewis
Wayne Pacelle, the President and CEO of the Humane Society of the United States, joins David to chat about the challenges facing the nation’s largest animal advocacy group. Since taking the position of President and CEO in 2004, Pacelle has aimed to broaden the scope and influence of the humane society even to the point of befriending and working with former Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick. Despite his notable run-in with the law on animal cruelty charges, Pacelle believes Vick truly loves and cares for animals and has worked closely with him to teach the dangers of dog fighting. In addition, Pacelle has recently penned his first book, The Bond: Our Kinship with Animals, Our Right to Defend. This book takes an in-depth look at mankind’s bond with animals and how it evolves and changes through a lifetime.

Kate Beckinsale returns to the “Underworld” franchise with the fourth installment “Underworld: Awakening.” It marks the first time an “Underworld” flick has been shot in 3D. We’ll be hearing from Lucas and “Red Tails” star Terrence Howard as well as “Underworld: Awakening’s” Kate Beckinsale. Jon rolls out World War II-era music from The Andrews Sisters and Spike Jones, and a heaping helping of vampire- and werewolf-related tunes from The Paladins, Warren Zevon, Bert Convy and others.
