On Creature Comforts, Kevin Farrell is joined by Dr. Troy Majure, veterinarian at the Animal Medical Center in Jackson and Libby Hartfield retired director of the Mississippi Museum of Natural Science.


From irradiated bites giving you super powers to a wise lady named Charlotte spouting wisdom as she churns her web, spiders have been a significant part of pop culture for ages. This Halloween season, Dr. Wesley Shoop joins us as our guest today for Creature Comforts to tell us about the significance of spiders – maybe not in pop culture – but in our ecosystem.
