"Animal Corner": Internet Radio Show
 

I had a wonderful time doing the Animal Corner show; after 84 shows, I decided at the end of April 2006 it was time to focus my energies on other projects. If you would like to receive a CD of any show, please email me at kat@katberard.com. Cost is $10.

Book purchases benefit animal rescue!  Books written by show guests can be purchased through my site; see the topics table at the top of my Book Page and click on the topic the book falls under. If you can't find any of these authors' books on my site, let me know and I'll let you know what page it's on. By purchasing books through my site (it connects you to Amazon.com), they give me 5% of your purchase price instead of keeping it as profit. In turn I donate that to animal rescue groups around the country. So please bookmark any one of my book pages so you can make future book purchases through my site. Note that you don't have to purchase anything listed on my site, just click on any book title to take you to Amazon.com, select what you want to purchase, and the 5% rebate should still be honored.
