They Had to Say “Caveman,” Dammit!
Well I suppose I shouldn’t chastise the host of the radio show even before I’m on. See the 10:30 slot. It’s a one-on-one I’m told with Rob Breakenridge. I suppose I’m going to have to work in my criticism of the "caveman" style, if I might.
So I was very pleased ’round noonish to get an email from Whitney Deane of CHQR Radio, AM770 out of Alberta, Canada. Doubtless fruit of the Maclean’s piece, I’m just really grateful to be able to take part in this new semi-movement in this way.
Food for thought: how many of you saw this coming, I mean really, potentially big? My answer is that I’d not have gotten involved in its promotion, had I not seen it coming. Given the failures of nearly all diets and the only partial success of others (and major part of partial for Atkins and similar, of course), wasn’t it time for something a bit radical…different, and that smacks of both egalitarian for the commies and individualist for the fascists? I jest, of course.
At any rate, before I get started — and I’m a bit bouncing off walls right now ’cause I want to do damn good — you might be able to catch the live stream via the website, here: CLICK. It should start at 9:30 PST or shortly thereafter.
WHAT IT'S ABOUT AND HOW IT WORKS
Free The Animal is an eclectic writing project about everything since November 2003. 23 years, 5,500 posts, 5 million words.
It's a paid membership blog. Most posts are free and public, but only paid members can comment. What determines whether it's free or paid is when I publish. Monday through Friday, free and public. Saturday and Sunday, for paid members. That's it. Membership info here.
If it were TV I’d say bring a club and wear a Fred Flintstone outfit. Guess that would be pointless with radio. But at least you can cuss, right? ;-) Just load up on scotch and grass-fed beef before the interview. And congratulations!
I’ll probably have a scotch in me. Best to not have eaten, however. For me.
Best of luck! (Dont forget the movement appeals to the libertarian who likes the local market ideas haha), been lurking the blog for about a year now, always good stuff. Just finished my first 24 hour fast and a workout to top it off!
Nice work, us Albertans will hopefully be tuning in. I’ve been tuning the people at work who chastise me onto the Macleans piece and your site as well.
CAN YOU POST A LINK TO IT’S LOCATION IN THE ARCIVES IN CASE PEOPLE MISS IT LIKE ME MY WORK COMPUTER IS A PIECE OF CRAP WITH OUT SOUND
Your caps lock button seems to be stuck too.
I have been waiting for the Paleo way of eating to become well-known and popular. Think of all the people that might change their habits and start eating healthy as a result of the radio show. Very cool.
Yeah, how about getting invited on Oprah, she’s got a huge audience.
Oprah’s got too much grain/pharma advert. $$$ coming in to allow us a voice.
She’s big on soy too. I don’t see her being paleo friendly.
You go, Richard! Woo Hoo!!
Ha! Blame Whitney… she put the schedule on the web ;)
Thanks again for coming on
It was a pleasure, Rob. You are a different breed as a talk show interviewer from what I’m used to here if the US (which is why I don’t listen to talk, anymore — except the occasional NPR — which is funny because I’m totally anti-state (yet another part of the advanced course in the paleo lifestyle). Question is, am I anarchist because of paleo, or ther other way around, having been that way politically for a couple of decades.
At any rate, thank for the podium. I posted a few thoughts here:

Great job on the radio interview Richard, awesome. Wonder how many listeners he has.
Lute, he’s pretty big.
i just heard you on Breakenridge here in my province. he’s one of the better radio hosts. he has a libertarian bent, by the way.
how many of us saw it coming? i did. i knew it would be the next SWPL trend. whether it will be mainstream from now on is speculation.
Thanks Shell, is he Nationwide or local?
he’s Alberta-wide, but particularly southern Alberta.
I just caught the tail end of the interview – damn, only got the last 5 minutes.
I live in calgary – so Rob Breakenridge is a local radio station for me – kinda odd coincidence.
Any chance you’ll be able to post a link to the audio of the interview?
