About this listen

Michael speaks with Joey Tuccio, an animal rescuer at Starts With One Today, who exposes the hidden crisis facing dogs on Skid Row. From large-scale breeding operations run in the open to rescuers facing threats on the street, Joey breaks down why 90% of Skid Row’s dogs are being exploited for profit, the dangers rescuers confront daily, and why current city efforts aren’t reaching those already doing the work on the ground.

Later, Dr. Desai from UCI Health joins the show to explain how a groundbreaking cell therapy is transforming the treatment of lupus, including a remarkable success story of a patient bedridden for 18 years who is now living a normal life.
