The development of language has always fascinated me, and linguistics will forever be my passion. I recently made the choice to...Read full review »

I recommend this podcast to people who like learning a lot of very useful, very important information. Must-listen for vegans and allies.

Our world needs this compassionate perspective.

Animalogy is officially my new favourite podcast (second only to Food for Though). Colleen's interesting, intelligent, compassionate, and academic approach to langue (and it's relationship with animals, culture, geography, history, etc.) makes for the most fascinating podcasts you could dream up!

By far the most densely-packed podcast I listen to with information I've never heard anywhere else. Colleen does amazing work researching and imparting all the ways animals are infused into language. Her compassionate lens is evident and inspiring.

I have recently started listening to this podcast and I must say that I am hooked! Language is so powerful, and to learn the origins of so many words never given a second thought about is quite fun. I had to go back and download all the previous episodes so I can learn more. Great...Read full review »

As vegans, and as creatures whose voices are acknowledged (where other animals' are not), we have a responsibility to know the extent of our carnist indoctrination beyond our dietary habits. Language is the heart of the people. If we claim to have animals at heart, then, shouldn't our language...Read full review »

Colleen opened my eyes to the world of words. English is my second language and Animalogy has helped me understand words that I already knew at a deeper level!

I have been enjoying learning about the origins of so many words and how animals are involved in so much of our language. Colleen truly shines when she talks about the animal kingdom. I can feel her enthusiasm, love and compassion for all our animal Earth mates. Definitely worth checking out.
Selbygirl6 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/07/17
I've always loved language and the stories behind the words we use, and I've always been keenly aware of how we often speak without really thinking about what we're saying. And I've always loved animals. Colleen combines all of this beautifully into an insightful and fun exploration of the...Read full review »

Helped me get through the first stages of knowing the horrors of the meat industry. And that there is no such thing as a perfect vegan.

I love Colleen's original podcast, Food for Thought, so much. It was exactly what I needed when I started thinking about moving into a life that minimizes suffering for all sentient beings. In addition to Colleen's wonderful, comprehensive way of looking at the world through vegan eyes, and her...Read full review »

פרקים קצרים, דחוסים ומעניינים על אטימולוגיה של מלים וביטויים הקשורים בחיות. לעתים הקשר לחיות היסטורי ומרתק ממש. מדי פעם יש פרק הטפה טבעוני עליו מומלץ לדלג, אבל שאר הפרקים מקסימים.
Owl in blue jeans via Apple Podcasts · Israel · 03/18/17
I absolutely adore the Food for Thought podcast by Colleen so I will be the first to admit I was hesitant and maybe even a wee bit resistant to open myself up to the animalology podcast. Well let me just admit here before all of iTunes; I was wrong...way wrong. I am blown away by the content in...Read full review »

Colleen always does her research and shares some really interesting history behind our language.
AK iris via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/02/17
The way we talk says much more than what we mean. When we pay attention to the words we use we can align our values to what we want to communicate. This is work is more relevant that ever.

I have listened to Colleen's Food for Thought podcast for a while now and was so excited when she began Animalogy.

I'm a long time fan of CPD (Colleen Patric Goodreau) and her great animal advocacy. For someone whose day job is all about words this podcast was a no brainer.

This podcast is truly amazing! I can't believe how many phrases and words have animal origins. You learn so much about the way we speak from Colleen. She is so passionate about animals and linguistics, and it shows.
Bonkers7 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/02/17
Colleen Patrick-Goudreau continues her work of podcasting excellence begun in "food for thought" by peeling back the layers of history and usage in how English speakers talk about animals. As a lover of language and animals, I find this a fascinating and thought-provoking listen.
OliviaButz via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/02/17
Colleen's 'Food For Thought' podcast literally changed my life. She has taught me so much about how to live my life as a vegan. No one speaks for the animals like Colleen.

I love Colleen's podcast "Food for Thought," and as a writer and copy editor I've always enjoyed the language lessons she's sprinkled throughout it. (She recommended The History of English Podcast in the past, which led me to become obsessed with that as well.) So when Animalogy debuted I had...Read full review »
