What happens when Hollywood's monkeys and apes retire? I talk to Erika Fleury from NAPSA (the North American Primate Sanctuary Alliance) to find out!'NAPSA is a coalition of the leading primate sanctuaries in North America whose members care for over 800 nonhuman primates retired from laboratory research, the entertainment industry, and private ownership.' Erika is NAPSA’s Program Director and a pro-primatologist having studied undergrad and graduate level primatology courses.In 2013 Erika published her book Monkey Business: A History of Nonhuman Primate Rights. Her work has been featured live on CNN and in the New York Times, National Geographic, The Washington Post, and other media outlets, and she has published a variety of work advocating for responsible primate retirement.I'm touring my new stand up show Bone Dry in March/April (to Adelaide, Brisbane, Melbourne and Sydney) Tickets/details: https://mattstewartcomedy.com/gigs Use the early bird discount code 'dogoon' Support the show on Patr

In 2014 Vice's Motherboard released a documentary about a "real planet of the apes" to tie in with the cinematic release of Dawn of the Planet of the Apes. The documentary's blurb: Our crew traveled to remote Liberia to discover 'Monkey Island,' an area inhabited solely by former lab tested chimpanzees who survived disease and two civil wars. We go to the island, interview the locals and meet the scientists involved in the testing facility 25 years ago.Trying to put aside the fact that this island which is solely inhabited by chimps is called 'Monkey Island', I am joined by returning guests Ben Russell and Stuart Daulman as we discuss this documentary.
