ETM welcomes dear friend, creator and president of YAPS© (Youth and Pet Survivors), Anne Ingalls Gillespie, to the show. YAPS© is a pen pal program that matches pediatric cancer patients with dogs and cats who have survived cancer or other serious medical conditions.

After finding out a little about Anne and having fun talking about Star Trek, Edward T wants to know: does a program like this really help with the health of human (as well as a pet) or is this just some new-agey, namby-pamby way of avoiding the issue of cancer? You may be surprised with the answer.

Then, Edward T presents a Media Minute, featuring the "Up Series" and "49 Up" a series of films that Edward T feels shows the best of humanity, just as the YAPS program does. And it also backs up ETM's belief that many of us, if not most of us, know exactly what we want to do by the time a child is seven years old.
