Duncan Strauss is the host of “Talking Animals,” a show about animals and animal issues that he launched at a Southern California station in June of 2003, bringing it to WMNF at the end of 2005. It currently airs Wednesdays from 11AM-Noon. Past guests include Jane Goodall, Alec Baldwin, Temple Grandin & Triumph The Insult Comic Dog. Strauss lives in Jupiter Farms, FL with his family, including three cats, two horses and one dog.
