Thank you for very interesting podcasts!
Just a small suggestion: I'd recommend using proper ID tags on MP3 tracks (e.g. artist: Roger Yates or On Human-Nonhuman Relations, title: Podcast 8. The Religious Underpinning of Speciesism, etc.) This would make them easier to scrobble on last.fm and similar websites :-)
Thanks LiDi. Yes, I must get better on that. I have a natural tendency not to blow my own trumpet!!
I was happily surprised to this podcast discusssing language issues, especially the problematic term "humans and animals."
I cannot recommend Joan Dunayer's book Animal Equality high enough. In this book, she critically examines human exploitation of other animals and the speciesist language that facilitates this oppression. Link: http://www.amazon.com/Animal-Equality-Liberation-Joan-Dunayer/dp/0970647557
For a quick overview, Dunayer wrote an article for the English Today journal, called "English and Speciesism":

That's an accurate summation: The bible as a meat eaters manifesto. Am anxious to hear part 2. Thanks for doing these podcasts, I always learn something! :)
