Kurt Andersen and the comedian and writer Merrill Markoe talk about the wild and the woolly — art by and about animals.
Markoe is the author of several books, including What the Dogs Have Taught Me and Other Things I’ve Learned and a children’s book, When My Dogs Became Guys. She won several Emmys as a writer for Late Night with David Letterman — and she created Stupid Pet Tricks. Her most recent book is the novel It’s My F—ing Birthday.
At The World, we believe strongly that human-centered journalism is at the heart of an informed public and a strong democracy. We see democracy and journalism as two sides of the same coin. If you care about one, it is imperative to care about the other.
Every day, our nonprofit newsroom seeks to inform and empower listeners and hold the powerful accountable. Neither would be possible without the support of listeners like you. If you believe in our work, will you give today? We need your help now more than ever!
