The Wildlife Whisperer: Ned Bruha on Iguana Rain, Bat Lawsuits, and Humane Animal Control

Dora Sherry welcomes Ned Bruha, the "Wildlife Whisperer," to the show. Ned, who runs a humane wildlife management business, clarifies his controversial methods: he does not trap, relocate, kill, or poison animals. Instead, he works within the existing ecosystem, "manipulating females" like raccoons to move their families on their own, a method he uses because relocation and translocation research proves it truly kills the animal within two weeks.

Ned shares his unique start in the business—battling chipmunks burrowing into veteran graves in his childhood backyard in Wisconsin. He confirms one of Florida’s wilder rumors: iguanas truly do fall from the sky due to cold weather slowing their bodies down.

The conversation turns to the most dangerous animal he deals with: humans. He explains that he makes a living off the poor work ethic and tiny flaws left by builders, roofers, and other tradesmen, noting that common homeowner mistakes include using duct tape and expanding foam. Ned recounts a horrific case where a client won over a million dollars after a previous homeowner covered up a severe bat guano infestation; the former owner later tried to hire a hitman to kill the family. He explains the non-lethal method for bat removal, which must be done outside of maternity season when pups can’t fly.

Ned also details his high-level osprey work, including installing electromagnetic deterrents and platforms on Andros Island to prevent birds from nesting on a massive radar tower. Finally, he recounts his disappointing experience with a past reality television series where producers chose to create drama over delivering the educational show he was promised.

Host Dora Sherry welcomes author and anti-violence activist Randall Daniels to discuss his life-changing work with BOBO, the boxing kangaroo mascot. Daniels shares the personal story behind the movement, which stands for Better Options, Better Outcomes (BOBO), and was created in honor of his late mother, Bobby Bobo Daniels. Hear how Randall overcame his own struggles—losing his mom at age seven, raising himself from age 12, and his past as a drug dealer—to become an author with nine books used in school systems to teach anti-violence and literacy. Randall explains how the rhythmic power of rap helped him overcome being a slow reader and discusses the critical issues facing youth today, including the loss of critical thinking skills due to cell phones and the culture of gun violence. Discover the impact of the BOBO movement, which now spans eight countries, and learn about his innovative tools like the Fenerope therapy cards and the anti-violence board game that teach "without preaching".

Host Dora Sherry welcomes Kachia Phillips, a powerful voice and champion for survivors in the movement against sex trafficking. Kachia bravely shares her incredible 22-year journey in human trafficking, which began when she was just seventeen years old, and the concurrent battle with addiction that followed. She recounts how her "Damascus encounter"—an arrest that led to a powerful spiritual experience—fueled her recovery and deliverance, giving her a new purpose. Kachia now serves as a case manager at Hub of Hope, a Northwest Arkansas nonprofit that works directly with adult survivors of human trafficking. She discusses her work providing resources, creating life plans for women, and advocating within the justice system for survivors facing forced criminality charges. This essential conversation also highlights the signs of trafficking and misconceptions about its prevalence in the United States.
