Storytelling Animals is a green new podcast where we use books to help make sense of the ecological crisis – and think about what comes next. For most episodes, host Dayton Martindale will interview authors about their new or recent fiction and nonfiction, and talk about how we might build better relations with each other and our fellow creatures. Sometimes, he'll review books or talk with academics and activists, too.
Patreon subscribers at all tiers get early access to locked episodes, and Patreon subscribers above $7/month can also join a subscribers-only book club hosted by Dayton to dig deeper into these ideas and discuss how they might inform political action.
Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Happy Birthday, Virginia Woolf: Animals, Nature, and Modernist Fiction with Bonnie Kime Scott
January 25, 2023, is acclaimed writer Virginia Woolf's 141st birthday! To celebrate, I invited scholar of modernist literature Bonnie Kime Scott to talk about how animals and nature show up in Woolf's work, and how novels can represent other consciousnesses.

Customer Reviews
A Garden of Earthly Delights
Interesting discussions about humans and other animals. Nussbaum, Soper, Vettese/Pendergrass, and so many other wonderful guests. In short — perfection.
Ecological issues made approachable
These books and interviews are making sometimes terrifying concepts (climate change, extinction, inequality, inaction) feel more approachable to an ordinary listener and provide little rays of hope and action for these diverse topics.
Refreshing change of pace!
I usually listen to true crime podcasts all day every day and this was a really thoughtful, thought-provoking change of pace! I learned a lot and didn’t leave feeling discouraged or guilty, which I sometimes worry about when discussing the environment, nature, or the non-human world.
Can’t wait for more episodes!
