What happens when doctors look at human medicine through the lens of veterinary medicine? While the gulf between the two disciplines is wide, there are many parallels between humans and our animal counterparts.  Dr. Barbara Natterson-Horowitz and journalist Kathryn Bowers chat with "Talk of Iowa" about their new book "Zo0biquity: The Astonishing Connection Between Human and Animal Health" which delves into the physiological and psychiatric similarities across species.

Also, Pulitzer Prize-winning author ElizabethStrout talks about her new novel "The Burgess Boys."
