Animal Matters
Sun, Jul 26, 2026 9:00 AM
ALLIGATORS: FACTS, FALLACIES AND CONSERVATION
On the Sunday, July 26, episode of Animal Matters, hosts Erin Clarke and Jeff Simmons talk with Joe Wasilewski, a conservation biologist with the King Cobra Conservancy in Florida, about his work with alligators and other reptiles.
Alligators are often portrayed as aggressive, unpredictable animals—but how much of what we believe is fact, and how much is fear or misunderstanding? Wasilewski will discuss alligator behavior, conservation, human-wildlife encounters and the precautions people should take when living near alligator habitats.
Listeners can call 212-209-2877 to share their questions and experiences.
Animal Matters airs Sunday, July 26, from 9:00 to 10:00 a.m. ET on WBAI 99.5 FM in New York and streams at wbai.org.
WBAI is in fundraising mode and needs listener support to keep independent, community-based programming on the air. Donate at wbai.org or become a monthly BAI Buddy at buddy.wbai.org.
