If you’re worried that your pet might feel uneasy while you’re out and about, there’s now a iHeartRadio station dedicated to keeping your four-legged friend chilled out until you get home.
Introducing Pet Radio, a station of soothing songs, gentle tracks, and instrumental music such as classical, soft rock and reggae that will keep your pet company for roughly nine hours. Why these specific songs? Several studies found simple, serene sounds can help your pet chill out or experience less stress. and is a mix of classical, soft rock and reggae.
Animal behaviourist Dr. Deborah Wells published a study showing the relaxing effects of classical music on dogs. The research found that dogs spent more time resting and being quiet, and less time standing when exposed to classical music compared to heavy metal music, pop music, or conversation.
Later research found that other types of music were just as effective at reducing stress in pets.
A study by Dr. Susan Wagner, a board-certified veterinary neurologist, concluded solo piano music calms down dogs more than classical music. Another study found that playing soft rock and reggae for kennelled dogs led to more relaxed behaviours and increased heart rate variability, which indicates less stress.
Ready to turn on some comforting tunes for your pet? To access Pet Radio, you can visit the free iHeartRadio app or ask Alexa to “Play Pet Radio on iHeartRadio.”
The iHeartRadio app is also available on your smart TV.

A trial will continue today for a Gold Coast woman charged with the murder of her adult son.

The Crown alleges Ms Crabtree killed her son after he robbed a pharmacy, putting strain on the family’s finances.

The trial continues.
Oscar nominations for 2024 have been announced (January 23rd) and people are outraged over some major snubs. Two of the most surprising were Greta Gerwig for Best Director and Margot Robbie for Best Actress for their work in Barbie.
Robbie’s costar America Ferrera was nominated in the Best Supporting Actress category and reacted by saying, “I was incredibly disappointed that they weren’t nominated,” Ferrera told Variety. “Greta has done just about everything that a director could do to deserve it. Creating this world, and taking something that didn’t have inherent value to most people and making it a global phenomenon. It feels disappointing to not see her on that list.”
“What Margot achieved as an actress is truly unbelievable,” Ferrera continued. “One of the things about Margot as an actress is how easy she makes everything look. And perhaps people got fooled into thinking that the work seems easy, but Margot is a magician as an actress in front of the screen, and it was one of the honours of my career to get to witness her pull off the amazing performance she did. She brings so much heart and humour and depth and joy and fun to the character. In my book, she’s a master.”
Ryan Gosling also came out in support of Margot & Greta, you can read his full statement below.
Other notable snubs included Leonardo DiCaprio for Killers of the Flower Moon, as well as Julianne Moore and Natalie Portman for May December. One of the most controversial movies of the year, Saltburn was excluded, even though it received multiple Golden Globes, Critics Choice and BAFTA nominations. While not as surprising but still disappointing for many fans on social media, Charles Melton was left out of the Best Supporting Actor category, and Zac Efron was not nominated for his work in The Iron Claw.

Listen to Selena on her Artist Radio 😍
Selena Gomez has confirmed her relationship with Benny Blanco and claims he’s “better than anyone I’ve ever been with”.
Fans have been in a frenzy since the songstress posted up a story with a mystery man’s head cut off. People online were quick to piece things together and Gomez has re-confirmed the guess by defending their relationship in a fan-page’s comments: “He is my absolute everything in my heart” the singer gushed, and then went on to say in response to a fan comment “then why has he been the best thing that’s ever happened to me. The end”.
I think it’s safe to say Selena will not be Single Soon. The two have collaborated on songs in the past, one of their major hits being ‘I Can’t Get Enough’.
