In this episode, Bill and Steve dive into a tiny, bustling world - a world that's hiding on the feathers of the birds we see every day. Joined by Dr. Alix Matthews, postdoctoral research associate in the Department of Biological Sciences at the University at Buffalo, she reveals the strange lives of feather mites — how these barely-visible hitchhikers feed and get around, and whether or not they're helping or hurting their avian hosts. It's an episode that proves there's a whole world hiding on every wing.This episode was recorded on September 4, 2025 at Walton Woods in Amherst, NY.Episode Notes and LinksCheck out Dr. Matthews's website and research here.And watch a presentation on mites she did for Audubon Arkansas in October 2025.Sponsors and Ways to Support UsGumleaf Boots, USA (free shipping for patrons)Thank you to Always Wandering Art (Website and Etsy Shop) for providing the artwork for many of our episodes.Support us on Patreon.Check out the Field Guides merch at our Teespring store.

What starts as a curiosity, a light on the bedroom ceiling that seems to have no source, heralds the appearance of a huge eye that just watches and watches. Genre: Mystery, Science Fiction, Horror   Excerpt: I yelled out.  The hazel iris shifted toward me.  I slowly slid off the bed... dashed to the door, flung it open, and pulled it closed behind me.  Okay, okay, think. I have to… I had cried out. Someone must have heard. Someone would come knocking on my door. Normally I didn't want that. But right now, right now I might want that. I might want that.   What story or stories am I revisiting in this episode? Each Season 8 episode is a standalone story, but it's connected to or inspired by a previous story through a character, a place, an object, a concept, a continuation of events (ahem, sequel), and so on. A previous story about an organ growing in the walls of someone's bedroom is “Chemoimagination.”   Creepy coincidence?One night, after I posted this story, I'd plugged in a mini-fan to charge next to my bed. I woke up in the middle of the night and saw a glowing green eye on my ceiling. The fan had finished charging, and the indicator light happened to be facing up to the ceiling. And it happened to be the same shape and size of the eye I describe in my story. It didn't scare me. I immediately knew what I was. But I did sleepily think something akin to “heh, good one.”   MY FIRST BOOK (yay)Ever wonder how I've gotten all these hundreds of stories written?  I have a method. And I talk all about it in my book called Fictioneer's Field Guide: A Game Plan for Writing Short Stories. It's now available from Amazon as an eBook, paperback, and hardcover.

Across Asia, nearly one in three elephants lives in captivity—used in temples, tourism, logging, and religious festivals. In this powerful episode of the Think Wildlife Podcast, Canadian photographer and elephant conservation advocate Larry Laverty joins host Anish Banerjee to shed light on the suffering of captive elephants and the urgent need for elephant conservation across both Asia and Africa.Larry Laverty's remarkable journey began with his first book Power and Majesty, which documented the African elephant and exposed the brutal realities of the ivory trade and wildlife crime driving their decline. Traveling across ten African countries, he captured the spirit of wild elephants and the people striving to protect them. His second book, The Majestic Humanity and the Asian Elephant, turns the lens toward Asian elephants, revealing how centuries of human use—from temple elephants to those exploited in logging and tourism—have shaped their tragic fate.In this conversation, Larry explains how his camera became a tool of empathy and activism. Through conservation photography, he documents not just the beauty but the suffering of elephants—images that demand global attention to animal welfare, animal rights, and the moral questions surrounding captive elephants. He recalls heartbreaking encounters, including a baby elephant orphaned during illegal logging, and discusses the cruel realities behind elephant rides and festival processions.The discussion also highlights promising alternatives like robotic elephants being introduced in India's temples, offering a humane replacement for live elephants used in ceremonies. Larry shares how he personally contributed funds for one such robotic elephant, symbolizing a new era of compassionate conservation that honors culture without perpetuating animal abuses.The episode explores deeper cultural, ecological, and ethical contrasts between African and Asian elephant conservation. While African elephants remain largely wild, human-elephant relationships in Asia stretch back nearly 5,000 years, complicating efforts to end captivity. Larry emphasizes that saving elephants means reimagining this bond—through education, empathy, and stronger laws against illegal wildlife trade, ivory trafficking, and elephant poaching.He also discusses the potential for rewilding captive elephants, citing encouraging examples from Laos where rescued elephants are gradually returned to the wild. Yet, he warns that without stronger land protection and political will, true freedom for these elephants remains a distant dream.This episode is a tribute to elephants—creatures of immense intelligence and empathy—and to those fighting to protect them. It's also a call to listeners to act: avoid elephant rides, support ethical sanctuaries, advocate for animal welfare laws, and amplify the voices working to end exploitation.Larry Laverty's words remind us that elephant conservation is more than protecting a species—it's about redefining humanity's relationship with nature. By choosing empathy over entertainment and awareness over ignorance, we can help ensure that elephants, whether African or Asian, live the lives they were meant to—wild and free.Watch now to explore the untold stories behind captive elephants, the courage of photographers on the frontlines of conservation, and the hope that drives global efforts to protect these majestic beings.About the HostAnish Banerjee is an early career ecologist, with a MSc in Ecology, Evolution and Conservation from Imperial College London.

I am super excited about today's episode of Sell With Authority — it's a really special one. We're kicking off a brand-new series we're creating here on the show. Over the next several weeks, you're going to hear from agency leaders who will share their insights and experiences around one of the most pressing issues in biz dev today: trust and distrust — and how both shape the agency sales process. If you've been part of our community for a while, you know that everything we do at Predictive centers on helping agencies sell more of what they do for a higher fee. And what we've seen, time and again, is that trust — or the lack of it — makes or breaks your sales pipeline. When trust is present, your pipeline flows. When it's absent, friction builds, momentum stalls — and opportunities slip away. This special series will dig deep into that dynamic. The conversations you'll hear will form the foundation for my next book, The Trust Architecture — along with a set of new Field Guides we'll be sharing with our community. If you stick with us through this series, you'll get an inside look at the strategic insights, lessons, and stories that will shape that work. Today's conversation is the perfect place to begin. Our guest expert is Michelle Calcote King, Founder of Reputation Ink — a national PR and marketing agency that helps professional services firms turn expertise into influence. Michelle and her team work every day in industries where trust and credibility aren't optional. That's what makes her perspective the perfect starting point for this series. She has built a business around translating complex expertise into stories that build trust, spark credibility, and drive growth — and she's sharing her playbook with us. What you will learn in this episode:  Why trust — or the lack of it — impacts every stage of the agency sales process Why industry specialization accelerates credibility How to remove friction and earn access to client subject matter experts The secret power of an authoritative newsletter in your niche The reality behind a successful biz dev system — you've got to eat your own dog food How to build relationships and trust through intentional, helpful marketing Resources: Website: www.rep-ink.com LinkedIn Personal: https://www.linkedin.com/in/michellecking/ LinkedIn Business: https://www.linkedin.com/company/reputation-ink/

Send us a textRobert Hansen has worn a lot of hats in the herp world — editor, author, educator, field naturalist, and lifelong advocate for science communication. For years he served as Editor-in-Chief of Herpetological Review, shaping the way our community shares its discoveries, and is now one of the creators of the recent, amazing, field guide, California Amphibians and Reptiles, co-authored with Jackson Shedd - and there's a new, bigger, even more ambitious field guide on the way!In this episode, we talk about the art and science of making field guides truly usable; from design and detail to accessibility, even down to color choices for range maps and why they're more important than you realize. We dive into the changing face of herpetology, the importance of clear communication, and how decades in education shaped Bob's approach to both writing and educating.We also explore his long-running study of elevation transects in the Eastern Sierra and what long-term data can teach us that short studies can't, his philosophy on photographing herps, and his work on a near-future book that goes beyond California, and captures the Western US and Canada. And of course, it wouldn't be Wood Fired Herping without a little food, this time, in between gas station hot dogs and Mexican street food, it's brook trout, cooked on the banks of a creek in the mountains of Eastern California, with rice-a-roni and a surprise bottle of wine.Whether you're an old-school field herper, a new enthusiast, or someone who just loves the intersection of science and storytelling, this one's a warm and grounded conversation about legacy, curiosity, and what keeps us going back into the field.

Eric Wareheim is an actor, director, winemaker, and writer based in Los Angeles. You may know him as one half of the comedy duo behind the cult-followed Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job!, but in recent years, he's been making a foray into food and wine, starting with the New York Times Best Seller cookbook Foodheim. His new book, Steak House, chronicles his freewheeling, exhaustive search for the ultimate steak house. It's a heady mix of recipes, interviews with legendary servers, and his own very funny essays—and today on the show, we go deep on his steak house fixation and reporting process.  And, at the top of the show, it's the return of Three Things, where Aliza and Matt talk about what is exciting them in the world of restaurants, cookbooks, and the food world as a whole. On this episode: The Great Community Bake Sale is New York's big weekend event, Katie Parla has a very cool new book out, Rome: A Culinary History, Cookbook, and Field Guide to the Flavors that Built a City, it's soup season and Andy Baraghani's Golden Potato and Greens Soup is a great option. Also, a recap from the fun Los Angeles Chef's Conference, a visit to the Tiny Dollhouse Store, and Matt is heading to Korea.

Surely, a beautiful old house sold at a bargain must have a sinister history.  One new homeowner is about to find out. Genre: Horror, Mystery   Excerpt: “If afterlife spirits are real, they're real whether I believe in them or not.” I shrugged. “And if they're real, I'd rather not stir them up.” “So…she felt something?”  “She said the place had a weird energy.”  “What does that mean?” I shook my head. “Frustrated….”   What story or stories am I revisiting in this episode?Each Season 8 episode is a standalone story, but it's connected to or inspired by a previous story through a character, a place, an object, a concept, a continuation of events (ahem, sequel), and so on.

India's growing population of free-ranging dogs has become one of the most complex and divisive conservation challenges of our time. In this episode of the Think Wildlife Podcast, we dive deep into the intersection of animal welfare, public health, and biodiversity conservation with ecologist Arshyaan Shahid, who unpacks the ecological, legal, and ethical dilemmas surrounding India's 60 million stray dogs.The discussion begins with the recent Supreme Court order directing Delhi authorities to relocate all dogs into shelters—an unprecedented move that sparked national debate among animal rights, animal activism, and conservation communities. Arshyaan explains why the free-ranging dog population in India has exploded to over 60 million, how human-subsidized feeding, waste mismanagement, and lack of predators have allowed dog numbers to soar, and why sterilization alone cannot solve the crisis.We explore how dogs, once companions of humans, have transformed into powerful ecological disruptors. Free-ranging dogs now threaten over 80 wildlife species, including 31 listed as IUCN Red List threatened species. From attacking blackbuck, chital, and great Indian bustards to competing with jackals, hyenas, and vultures, their impact extends deep into India's biodiversity hotspots. Arshyaan discusses how dogs act as invasive wild canids, spreading diseases like rabies and parvovirus, hybridizing with wolves, and altering predator-prey dynamics.But this is not just an ecological crisis—it's also a public health crisis. India records over 3.7 million dog bites annually, with Delhi alone reporting 68,000 cases in 2024. With 36% of global rabies deaths occurring in India and over 20,000 human deaths each year, the connection between public health, urban ecology, and animal welfare has never been clearer.Arshyaan dissects why sterilization campaigns—despite their humanitarian intent—struggle to reach the 70–90% coverage required for meaningful control. He reveals the enormous financial burden of sterilizing 700,000 dogs in Delhi alone, the vacuum effect that replenishes removed populations, and the time lag before any measurable impact. He also highlights the ethical complexities of culling, the global backlash against mass euthanasia, and the moral dilemma between compassionate conservation and ecological necessity.The conversation moves to the Supreme Court's evolving position, from its controversial order to relocate dogs, to a more balanced capture–sterilize–vaccinate–release (CSVR) approach inspired by Dutch models. Yet, Delhi's limited infrastructure—shelters for barely 5% of its 800,000 dogs—makes large-scale implementation nearly impossible.Arshyaan and host Anish Banerjee examine the difficult trade-offs between animal rights and biodiversity loss, exploring whether mass shelters improve or worsen welfare, and why unmanaged urban ecology and waste management remain the root of the crisis. They also discuss responsible pet ownership, microchipping, strict anti-abandonment laws, and urban planning reforms that could finally bring India closer to sustainable biodiversity conservation.Finally, Arshyaan shares insights from his upcoming PhD research on mapping dog aggression hotspots and fostering collaboration between the public, policymakers, and animal welfare advocates to balance compassion with science-based conservation.This episode asks a difficult question—can India protect both its dogs and its wildlife without compromising public safety or compassion?About the HostAnish Banerjee is an early career ecologist, with a MSc in Ecology, Evolution and Conservation from Imperial College London. He is the founder of Think Wildlife Foundation and a biodiversity policy analyst at Legal Atlas.

Shallow & Jiunta break down how to use training data to steer nutrition decisions rather than treating diet like a separate problem. They explore why structured diets (keto, vegan, carnivore,) actually work despite the internet arguing about them, as well as how psychological buy-in, age, physiological adaptability, and daily gym wins matter more than macros on paper.

Chatting today all about fortune telling with author Tom Benjamin!Historically, fortune tellers have always stood on the margins of society and been villainized by the Christo-Colonial powers that view divination as competition. The Modern Fortune Teller's Field Guide takes a contemporary and engaged approach to divination, with a strong focus on social responsibility. Because fortune tellers can see the world as it is, we serve as a threat to structures that benefit from secrecy.The Modern Fortune Teller's Field Guide is an essential guide to anyone seeking theory and history alongside divinatory knowledge. Though anyone today can pick up a pack of tarot cards or begin casting bones, fortune tellers have a responsibility in taking up that work to consider not only the forebears who suffered for that art—but also to understand the systems of oppression that impact our clients.

An apartment resident is recruited for help by four kids who claim that a demonic creature has just laid eggs in the laundry room. Genre: Horror   Excerpt: “It's like the thing from the poem that my first grade teacher told us about. ‘There Lived a Crooked Creature.' Do you know the one? It lives in a corner—“ “—and it can touch us but we can't touch it—“  “'In a corner it did lay; fourteen eggs every fourteen days.'” “'Nothing can destroy it. No weapon forged by human hand.'”   What story or stories am I revisiting in this episode? Each Season 8 episode is a standalone story, but it's connected to or inspired by a previous story through a character, a place, an object, a concept, a continuation of events (ahem, sequel), and so on. This episode is inspired by two previous episodes about humans encountering eerie creatures in their own homes: “The Incident of the Imp,” and “Velutinus.”   MY FIRST BOOK (yay)Ever wonder how I've gotten all these hundreds of stories written?  I have a method. And I talk all about it in my book called Fictioneer's Field Guide: A Game Plan for Writing Short Stories. It's now available from Amazon as an eBook, paperback, and hardcover.

Have you ever listened to an argument and felt that something was wrong, but you couldn't quite put your finger on it? You're not alone. Persuasive rhetoric often uses well-known tricks—intellectual sleights-of-hand called logical fallacies—to bypass your reasoning and win you over with flawed logic. In this episode, we go on the offensive. Consider this your first lesson in intellectual Jiu-Jitsu. We will expose the dark arts of persuasion by creating a field guide to the most common logical fallacies you encounter every day.

There is a tall tower to the north. A warlock once lived there. Now the tower is abandoned. But that does not mean is it safe.  Genre: Horror, Mystery   Excerpt: There was a story told…of a little girl who went into the tower and came out unscathed... The bard who told the story sang in sweet and rising notes of how the girl was protected by her innocence.  But when in the history of this tricksome world has innocence ever protected anyone from anything?  This isn't her story. It's mine. I went into that tower.    NOTE: There's a tech issue with my hosting platform where only the most recent 300 episodes are available from my feed. They're working on fixing it. In the meantime, all episodes are available from my podcast page: Storyfeather Podcast. (10/2/25)   What story or stories am I revisiting in this episode? Each Season 8 episode is a standalone story, but it's connected to or inspired by a previous story through a character, a place, an object, a concept, a continuation of events (ahem, sequel), and so on. This story was inspired by another story about a dangerous warlock, “Dragons of Verandering.”   MY FIRST BOOK (yay)Ever wonder how I've gotten all these hundreds of stories written?  I have a method. And I talk all about it in my book called Fictioneer's Field Guide: A Game Plan for Writing Short Stories. It's now available from Amazon as an eBook, paperback, and hardcover.

Istrouma Baptist Church (BR) Sep 28, 2025 ========== September 28 - Field Guide for the Church Welcome! We're glad you've joined us today for our Sunday morning worship service! For more information about Istrouma, go to istrouma.org or contact us at info@istrouma.org. We glorify God by making disciples of all nations. ========== Connection Card https://istrouma.org/myinfo September 28, 2025 Dwayne Pitre ‭‭1 Timothy‬ ‭5‬:‭1‬-‭19‬‬ Do not rebuke an older man but encourage him as you would a father, younger men as brothers, older women as mothers, younger women as sisters, in all purity. Honor widows who are truly widows. But if a widow has children or grandchildren, let them first learn to show godliness to their own household and to make some return to their parents, for this is pleasing in the sight of God. She who is truly a widow, left all alone, has set her hope on God and continues in supplications and prayers night and day, but she who is self-indulgent is dead even while she lives. Command these things as well, so that they may be without reproach. But if anyone does not provide for his relatives, and especially for members of his household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever. Let a widow be enrolled if she is not less than sixty years of age, having been the wife of one husband, and having a reputation for good works: if she has brought up children, has shown hospitality, has washed the feet of the saints, has cared for the afflicted, and has devoted herself to every good work. But refuse to enroll younger widows, for when their passions draw them away from Christ, they desire to marry and so incur condemnation for having abandoned their former faith. Besides that, they learn to be idlers, going about from house to house, and not only idlers, but also gossips and busybodies, saying what they should not. So I would have younger widows marry, bear children, manage their households, and give the adversary no occasion for slander. For some have already strayed after Satan. If any believing woman has relatives who are widows, let her care for them. Let the church not be burdened, so that it may care for those who are truly widows. Let the elders who rule well be considered worthy of double honor, especially those who labor in preaching and teaching. For the Scripture says, “You shall not muzzle an ox when it treads out the grain,” and, “The laborer deserves his wages.” Do not admit a charge against an elder except on the evidence of two or three witnesses. 1. A healthy church should be characterized by respect for all. 2. A healthy church should be characterized by compassionate care for widows. 3. A healthy church should be characterized by generous provision and diligent protection of their leaders.

In today's episode of Ten Year Town, Troy takes a step back from the noise of marketing hacks and algorithm tricks to talk about something deeper: the art itself. Making music can feel like pulling the lever on a slot machine: the lights flash, it feels like progress, but often it leaves you right where you started.This episode, A Field Guide for Going Slow, explores what it means to create work that lasts and why slowing down might be the key to fulfillment in a fast-paced industry. Drawing from conversations with artists like Steven Wilson Jr. and inspired by voices like Charles Bukowski and Tom Petty, Troy shares a framework for building a career rooted in authenticity rather than quick wins.If you're looking for wisdom on how to make art that sustains, beyond the algorithms, this one's for you.New Episodes every Tuesday.Find the host Troy Cartwright on Twitter, Instagram.
