This week Dr. Michael Greger, my favorite nutrition nerd, talks candidly about Coronavirus protection and nutrition to keep you your strongest.  We also discuss his book How Not To Diet, and his 21 tweaks for perfect health.  Plus, Claire Smith of Beyond Investing talks about the impact of ethical investing.

After the interview, Elysabeth and Dr. Greger were spoiled silly at Althea, a Matthew Kenney restaurant in Chicago, the location of the interview. Take a look at these beauties and how happy Dr. G is to indulge!  Elysabeth says that this was truly one of the best meals of her life! Beet Ravioli, Kimchi Dumplings, Italian Cobb Salad Bowl, Plant Bowl, Crab Cakes, Kelp Noodles Cacio e Pepe, Coconut-Banana Cream Pie, and Apple Pie a la mode — and all of it in line with Dr. Greger's nutrition guidelines.  Needless to say, both Dr. Greger and Elysabeth had smaller dinners after such a huge lunch. Thank you, Althea Chicago!

UPCOMING PROGRAM NOTES

WEEKEND SHOWS LISTED ALPHABETICALLY

This week on Around The House with Eric G, we have a “jamb-packed,” multi-subject show. We talk about what to do about building a fence when you don’t know where your lot lines start or stop. Then we have a discussion about pets. What are good floor choices, and how do you create an all-weather outdoor pet area without the dogs taking over your entire yard? Then in the show’s second hour, we talk about how to track down a leak in an exterior wall that is above grade and how to deal with hard water in your home. Finally, we offer tips on keeping packages safe from those dreaded porch pirates.

Coming up on Animal Radio: Brooke Martin is only 14, but she sounds more intelligent than many adults. She also is the inventor of a device that allows you to have visual contact between you and your dog using a tablet or mobile phone. It also dispenses treats. Brooke believe this is an answer to separation anxiety, and will be our guest. We'll also talk to Jack Shepard, self-proclaimed Beastmaster at the Buzzfeed website. He gets paid to surf "animal-related" fodder and make it go viral on the incredibly popular website. And amputee Jennifer Robinson worked at a prosthetic manufacturer. Now she's showing off how artificial limbs are being used on dogs, cats, birds and even sea-life. She's a part of a PBS show called “My Bionic Pet.”

Coming up on BBQ Nation, Malcom Reed from How to BBQ Right and Killer Hoggs Competition team joins JT to talk Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years, and Super Bowl dinners and snacks from the grill. In the show’s second hour, JT is joined by Carolyn Wells, founding member of the Kansas City Barbeque Society. Carolyn gives us a bit of KCBS history and what’s in the organization’s future.
