"Calling All Pets" Bids Farewell
KHSU is sad to report that Wisconsin Public Radio has elected to retire Calling All Pets on June 30. The popular call-in pet
show with Patricia McConnell, Ph.D and Larry Meiller has been part of the KHSU line up for over a decade. Patricia McConnell said in a statement sent to stations, "I am grateful for the chance to have spoken, laughed and sometimes cried with so many wonderful people who share a mutual love and respect for the natural world."
News on Patricia McConnell can be found at her website: http://www.patriciamcconnell.com/
Look to the KHSU website for news on a replacement show for the Saturday noon timeslot soon.
