interpersonal violence

Welcome to Season Six of YXE Underground. Thank you so much for your continued support and I am thrilled to be back sharing stories of people who are making a difference in Saskatoon but are flying under the radar. 

This season's first episode focuses on the Animal Safekeeping Program. It is a partnership between New Hope Dog Rescue and the Saskatchewan SPCA and is helping people and animals who are leaving a domestic abuse or interpersonal violence situation. 

I was fortunate to speak with Sandra Archibald and Laura Zmud to learn more about the Animal Safekeeping Program.

Sandra is the Executive Director of New Hope Dog Rescue and Laura is the Family Ties Coordinator with the Saskatchewan SPCA. They found time in their busy schedule to meet with me at the SPCA office in Saskatoon to share more about the program and its importance in our community. 

I learned so much from speaking with Sandra and Laura and have so much respect for the work they are doing to help people who are experience interpersonal violence and their pets. I know you are going to learn a great deal as well. 

I want to mention that I am doing two podcast merchandise fundraisers for the Animal Safekeeping Program. The first are dog and cat bandanas that are yellow and have a black YXE Underground logo on them. They cost 10 dollars and your pet will look so good wearing them! The second fundraiser is a new round of YXE Underground t-shirts! The shirts are 3/4 length baseball tees that are blue and white with a blue YXE Underground logo. They sell for 25 dollars. All of the money from the sale of bandanas and shirt will go to the Animal Safekeeping Program. You can reach out to me on social media or send an email to ericandersonyxe@gmail.com if you would like some new merchandise and to help people and animals in need. 

Thank you so much for listening to this season's debut episode and thanks again to Sandra and Laura for their generosity and kindness. 

Cheers...Eric

WARNING - A very disturbing, but fascinating, episode.

What kind of person tortures and kills innocent animals?

The results of this investigation are shocking and they reveal a very dark side of the criminal soul: the links between criminal psychopaths and animal cruelty. 

Please rate, review or like this episode: would be hugely appreciated by Declan and the whole team of students.

Lisa LaBarbera-Mascote is a practitioner of feminist theory. She leads a community center at NC State that she says is a bit of a misnomer: the Women’s Center. What does the Center actually do? And why is it necessary in the first place?

Lisa spoke with me about Roy Moore, Title IX, class privilege, and how conversations about interpersonal violence need to improve. She also told me about the jarring experience in college that opened her eyes to issues of sexism.
