On this episode of the Camp Cast, Jason spends some time at the beginning talking about our good friend and CM brother Scott Marcus, who tragically passed last week.

Did know that—scientifically speaking—there's no difference between a dove and a pigeon? Yet a dove's more colorful counterpart has been dragged through the cultural mud. In doing so, we've missed out on the rich history and amazing features of this incredible creature. Andrew Blechman (author of Pigeons: The Fascinating Saga of the World's Most Revered and Reviled Bird) is here to share the jaw-dropping details.A few curiosities you'll uncover in this episode:The world event that led to the cultural downfall of pigeons in AmericaThe loving history between pigeons and humansHow a pigeon can find its way home from hundreds of miles awayDid You Know?Genghis Khan and his grandson created a pigeon post that spanned—get this—one-sixth of the entire world.CreditsCurious State is a Quick and Dirty Tips podcast hosted and produced by Doug Fraser.Find Curious State on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook, or subscribe to our newsletter for the latest updates.Podcast Manager - Adam Cecil Podcast and Advertising Operations Specialist - Morgan ChristiansonDigital Operations Specialist - Holly HutchingsMarketing and Publicity Assistant - Davina TomlinIntern - Brendan Picha The Quick and Dirty Tips network is a division of Macmillan Publishers in partnership with Mignon Fogarty, Inc.Have a question?

Craig and Chadd begin this week's episode with follow ups to Episode 3 on invasive species and Episode 2 regarding American Beach and Evan's Rendezvous. Also discussed was Craig's recent story from the Florida Phoenix about the Stillwright Point neighborhood in Key Largo and how Florida continues pushing for more development in areas especially prone to flooding.This week's guest is Andrew Blechman, author of "Leisurland: Adventures in a World Without Children," which is all about the famous/notorious Florida planned 55+ community The Villages. The Villages has been in the news recently for fiesty Trump vs. Biden protests - from the comfort of golf carts of course - one of which led to Trump retweeting a video of a supporter shouting "White Power." A conversation that was expected to be amusing takes a seriously dark turn as Blechman recalls stories of his time spent living in The Villages.
