Dr. Bob

<p>Dr. Bob is a 30-year-old Russian tortoise and a self-declared doctor of the slow art of living. Formerly known as Alonzo, he lives in a custom bookcase-turned-habitat with round observation windows, a privacy nook for deep thinking, and an adventure rock course he falls off about once a month, for science. He is cranky, adventurous, and deeply devoted to his basking rock and to lettuce served with ceremony. On Turtle Speed, he invites listeners to pull up a log and explore why we rush, why we rest, and how to savor life at a gentler pace. The doctor is in, and he is in no hurry.</p>
