Pigs on the Wing

from Animal Magic · host j. SNODGRASS

On December 3rd, 1976, a 30-foot pig flew over England, disrupting air traffic and scaring the manure out of a rancher's cattle. In this special anniversary episode, we'll share the timeless tale of the photo-shoot for the Pink Floyd Animals album cover. And we'll consider what it may have to do with Orwell's novel Animal Farm, and whether that book still has anything to teach us in America today.
