Japan Tsunami Appeal

Japan has often been a topic on WILD TIME and we have always made sure to mention that not everybody in Japan is a dolphin killer or worse. In fact, many very nice and courageous Japanese people like CFT's Kozue Watanabe and Masami Mizuguchi or SSCS activist Noro Yorakawa were engaging guests on the show.

Best-selling author Masaru Emoto (Hidden Messages in Water) will be talking to WILD TIME soon.

Like so many people around the globe, we too are shocked and saddened by the recent Tsunami in Japan and the devastation this has brought to the land of the rising sun.

While we are very happy to report that many of our Japanse friends appear to be safe for the moment we would like to ask all our listeners and supporters to help if they can by donating.

------
WILD TIME was invited to cover the 2011 Wetnose / Burgess Rescue Awards for radio. The award ceremony took place in London on March 4th 2011

For the program Wild Time host/producer Thomas Janak spoke to many hard working and kind individuals from numerous organisations and/or charities such as The Born Free Foundation, the UK Border Patrol, Fat Fluffs Rabbit Rescue, Remus Horse Rescue, author Margrit Coates and others.

The event was superb from start to finish and also included many a celebrity who gave up their time to present an award or were in fact themselves patrons for an animal charity and/or animal rights activists.

Interviewees also include Queen guitar God Brian May, legendary activist and actress Virginia McKenna from the Born Free Foundtion, actress Jenny Seagrove and actor Martin Clunes.

Thomas Janak talked to Jane Thompson about the Greyhound rescue she works for

On February 25th 2011 WILD TIME covered an event called "Wild Play", which in fact was a celebration of a two-year project that involved children in exploring nature.

The event happened at the Tamworth Youth Centre where TCR FM broadcasts from.

The show also features voices and music from an event in Erdington on February 26th called "Edible Erdington - Potato Day".

All in all a great show

The March schedule has not been finalised as of yet and will be announced very soon

March will also be very diverse!!
