This week, Linda hogs the entire show with her interview of Helen Tucker, who talks about her Ossabaw Island hogs, Dusty and Rusty, which she obtained from George Washington's birthplace. These smaller-than-average pigs are a heritage breed which dates back 400 years when the Spanish first brought them to the New World. Fewer than 200 breeding pairs are known to exist today.

Helen entertains Linda with tales of runaway pigs and tips on feeding Popsicles to a hog. More details on this episode MP3 Podcast -Going Whole Hog , with Bob Tarte
