As an author, artist, entrepreneur and human and animal rights activist, Alex Henry Foster is a modern day renaissance man. Alex joins the show Zooming in from Tangier, Morocco to introduce us to his newest rescue Robert who was left at his door just a few weeks ago. Back in Virginia, Alex gives us the background on Louna and Leonard as they hold things down while he's overseas. We also pay our respects to his beloved dog MacKaye who crossed the rainbow bridge in late 2024 and Shadow who was his "first furry love". Plenty of good stories and insights to cover from this consummate dog guy and global citizen.
Alex Henry Foster's new LP, The Fragile Beauty (of new Morning Hopes), hits platforms on October 23rd and is the first of five albums in a broader series, written and recorded in Virginia, Morocco and Canada. His Defying Gravity tour launches on November 24th in Germany. For dates and info visit alexhenryfoster.com/tour/
