It’s our 500th episode! Wow! Thanks to Rosie, Remy and Julien, and Dylan, Emily, and Michelle for their suggestions this week! Further reading: Crikey! Newly Discovered Snake Species Named After Steve Irwin Steve Irwin’s Treesnail A young Steve Irwin’s tree snail [photo taken from link above]: A marbled lungfish: A fennec, smallest and cutest of all foxes: Show transcript: Welcome to Strange Animals Podcast. I'm your host, Kate Shaw. This week we have a brand new episode, because it's episode 500! Congratulations to me and to you too, listening to the 500th episode of a podcast! That doesn't happen very often! Despite the big 5-0-0, I'm going to treat this like a regular episode. Thanks to Dylan, Emily, and Michelle, Remy and Julien, and Rosie for their suggestions this week! We'll start with Dylan, Emily, and Michelle, who live in Australia. A while back now they got to visit the Australia Zoo, which is run by the Irwin family. Steve Irwin was a conservationist, science educator, and wildlife rehabilitator, also known as the Crocodile Hunter for his work relocating crocodiles who were endangering people, and vice versa. He died tragically young in 2006 but his wife and children continue his work. Michelle pointed out that Irwin has been honored by scientists who have named newly discovered animals for him, so let's learn about a few of them! The most recent one is a type of wolf snake discovered on the Great Nicobar Island off the coast of India and described in 2025, Lycodon irwini. It's mostly black in color with a slender body, and can grow as much as 47 inches long, or 119 cm. That's almost four feet long! Luckily it's non-venomous, plus it has only been found on that one island in evergreen forests, so you're not likely to run across one by accident. It probably eats small animals like frogs, but we don't know a whole lot about it yet. Back in 1990, Steve Irwin caught a strange turtle while fishing with his father, Bob, who was also a conservationist. Between them, the two men knew a whole lot about Australian wildlife but they didn't know what the turtle was. They sent pictures to a turtle expert, who determined that yes, it was a species new to science. It was described in 1997 and named Irwin's turtle, Elseya irwini. Irwin's turtle has a black and yellow carapace and lives in the lower part of the Burdekin River in northern Queensland. The female also has a light-colored head and other pale spots on the body. Like some other turtles, it can absorb oxygen from the water through its cloaca, which is often referred to as its butt. A chamber at the end of the cloaca contains structures that act like gills and absorb oxygen. This allows it to stay underwater longer, and in fact it can't survive in water that doesn't contain enough oxygen. As a result, Irwin's turtle is endangered due to habitat loss, especially from pollution and the damming of its river home. It used to be common but its numbers are in decline. The Australia Zoo started a captive breeding program to help conserve the species, and in 2023 they succeeded in hatching the very first Irwin's turtle babies ever bred in captivity. The last one is my favorite, a land snail named after Steve Irwin. It was described as a new species in 2009, only a few years after Irwin died, and was named Crikey steveirwini. It's the only species in the genus Crikey. It only lives in high altitudes in the tropical rainforests of northeastern Queensland. It's rare and not much is known about it, because it's so hard to find and so small. It has a cone-shaped shell that's striped with spiral bands of brown, yellow-brown, and white, and it only grows 15 mm long at most. Next, brothers Remy and Julien wanted to learn about the African lungfish. Lungfish are fascinating fish, because as you can probably guess from the name, they have gills but they also have lungs, and the fish needs both to get enough oxygen. Four species of lungfish live in Africa, all belonging to the family Protopteridae. They're eel-like in shape although they're not closely related to eels at all, with soft scales, and a dorsal fin that continues down the fish's back and continues around the end of the tail, since the dorsal fin and tail fin are actually fused into one big fin. Its only other fins are the pectoral and pelvic, which are very thin and are more like flexible legs than actual fins. The lungfish can actually crawl along the bottom of the swamp or lake with its fins, although it can also swim like an eel. While the African lungfish does have gills, they're small and are mostly associated with eliminating carbon dioxide instead of absorbing oxygen. The lungs do most of the work. The fish surfaces periodically to gulp fresh air into its lungs. It's one of the few fish that can drown if it can't surface for air. African lungfish eat insect larvae, especially of aquatic insects, crustaceans, mollusks, small fish, and frogs, but it can also sometimes eat seeds and other plant material. It usually lives in shallow water like swamps and small rivers, where there's not a lot of oxygen in the water. In many cases, its waterways dry up periodically, but the fish can still survive. As its water gets lower and lower, the lungfish digs into the mud and curls up, then secretes a thick mucus that helps retain moisture and stops its body from drying out. Its metabolism slows way down so it doesn't need to breathe very often, and it doesn't need to eat. It can survive this way for up to four years, although it usually only has to stay in its cocoon for a few months, until the rains return and its waterways fill up again. The smallest species of African lungfish is the East African lungfish, which only grows about 17 inches long, or 44 cm, while the largest is the marbled lungfish that can grow a whopping six and a half feet long, or two meters. Lastly, Rosie suggested we learn about the fennec fox, which lives in northern Africa. It's the smallest fox in the world, barely eight inches tall at the shoulder, or 20 cm, but it has incredibly large ears. Its ears can be as much as six inches long, or 15 cm. Part of the reason its ears are so big is so it can hear insects and other small animals moving around underground, but they're also big because they help dissipate heat from the fox's body into the air. Since the fennec lives in deserts, that's only one of many adaptations it has to the heat and lack of water. For instance, the fennec gets most of its water through the food it eats. It's also a nocturnal animal. The pads of its paws are protected by long, coarse hairs that grow between the pads, so hot sand won't burn its toe beans. The hair also gives the fox better traction in loose sand. The fennec's fur is a pale sandy color with a black tip to the tail, and it has dark eyes. It eats rodents, birds and their eggs, insects, scorpions, and other small animals, as well as fruit and other plant material. It can jump really far, some four feet in one bound, or 120 cm. Not only can it run really fast, it can change directions really quickly too. This helps it escape predators and catch prey. Fennecs can be social animals and like to play, even as adults. Pairs mate for life and both parents take care of the babies. A fennec's burrow can be very large and may even link up to neighboring fennec family burrow, so neighbors can visit each other without going out into the heat of the day.

...And here's the second installment of our examination of Pass and Stow by Lungfish. Adz is back in the copilot seat and Paul Hutzler (whom roadied and road managed for the band) stops by to share some fascinating stories from his time with Lungfish. Close your eyes and open your third... endonendpod@gmail.com
I'm always excited when a Lungfish release comes up on the ledger! Perhaps too excited...? Anyhow, this show I'm joined by Adz Clayton (Holiday) in the cohort chair and we go all the way down the wormhole on this album, and the band in general. Throw the year's top fives in the mix in the intro and you end ups with a ridiculously (even by EOE standards) long episode. Thus cleaving it in two. Consider this the Pass and next time we'll finish up with an interview and the Stow.
This episode features original music by Or Rimer, a Tel Aviv-based musician and composer born in 1986 . Rimer is active in several local bands and projects, collaborating with a wide range of artists—including filmmakers, choreographers, and visual and performance artists—creating unique scores and soundscapes. Beyond his music, he also coaches football. Or Rimer opposes the genocide in Gaza. Music: Ghedalia Tazartes,,Corsican Women's Polyphonies,Laurie Anderson,Yuli Novak,fire,Steve Reich,Joseph Kudrica,Fire,Lungfish,Or Rimer.

Send us a textOn nearly every previous episode of You, Me and An Album, Al has invited a guest to introduce him to one album he doesn't know well (or at all), but this week's guest talks about seven of his favorite albums. Mike Montgomery, who owns Candyland Recording Studio in Dayton, Kentucky, and is a member of R.Ring and Ampline, suggested 11 possible albums to discuss on this episode, but he and Al weren't able to narrow the list down. So Mike talks about seven of those albums (noted in the rundown below).Not only were they unable to settle on one album from Mike's list, but Mike also suggested that Al introduce him to some of his favorite albums. From Al's short list of eight albums, he decided to discuss three of them on this episode, bringing the total albums featured up to an even 10.Mike explains how his love of skateboarding led him down a musical rabbit hole that ultimately brought him to several of the albums on his list. Al talks about his tendency to immerse himself in a single artist's discography, and how that led him to discover several of the albums that made his short list.Mike also discusses his Nervous Verbs solo project and the debut Nervous Verbs album Pony Coughing, which will be out on February 28. He explains why he decided to not record his Nervous Verbs songs with his other bands and talks about some of the musicians he collaborated with for this project.There are several places to keep up with Mike and his bands on Instagram, and they're all worth a follow!@candyland_recording_studio@nervousverbs@r.ringsings@amplinegramAl is on Bluesky at @almelchior.bsky.social.

I talk with visionary artist and front person of Lungfish, musician Daniel Higgs about friendship, perceiving spiritual beings in a spiritual landscape, the way a presence appears in the middle of a concert, and the role trust plays in relationship and creating art.
This episode the conversational waters ran overhand were so good that I had to cleave the baby in two. My old friend and bandmate Spen Syndrome (The Shivering/Bullets In/Stockholm Syndrome) drops in the stream to celebrate the majesty of Lay Yr'self Aside. Then Conner Habib, from the deeply esoteric and undeniably human Against Everyone podcast and author of Hawk Mountain beams in from Ireland to drop some serious mystic science on us. Take with water.
As you'll most likely hear, it can be hard to find words to express all the nuance and depth of meaning a favorite piece of art elicits in you. This is a perfect case in point. This album has soundtracked many years of my life, and continues to do so. With that caveat, I hope you enjoy this conversation. I always know it'll be a good episode when Scott Sheridan is in the copilot chair, but this episode we get Scott squared. Not only Sheridan, but Hicks (who folks might know from his bands Totally Slow and Rights Reserved). Scott Hicks is a friend who can always crack me up and then turn around and touch me with a well placed insight. This was a fun one. Enjoy!
This episode was previously exclusively available on our Patreon, if you enjoyed it and want to hear more, you can do so for as little as £5 a month On this episode of Beneath the Skin we talk about the art of musician, poet, and tattooist Dan Higgs. Higgs is a very influential artist in many forms, being the frontman for two legendary post hardcore bands, Reptile House and subsequently Lungfish, a prolific poet who's limited printed works are highly sought after, and most importantly to us, an incredible tattooist. Higgs is also notable an intensely private person but what is publicly available of his work and his words of varying forms speaks volumes.

Writer and DC punk/hardcore veteran Seth Lorinczi joins host Jason Schreurs to talk about how some people join the punk scene as a way to rebuild a "broken contract" with a world that failed them. Seth also talks about how, for him, punk is an orientation rather than an attitude or style of dress. https://sethlorinczi.com Featured song clips: Circus Lupus - "Tightrope Walker" from Super Genius (Dischord Records, 1992) Lungfish - "My Fool Heart" from Talking Songs for Walking (Dischord Records, 1992) Rites of Spring - "Drink Deep" from Rites of Spring (Dischord Records, 1985) THE SCREAM THERAPY BOOK is now available! Scream Therapy: A Punk Journey through Mental Health is a memoir-plus that has been heralded by New York Times best-selling authors. Like the podcast, it links the community-minded punk rock scene with the mental wellness of the punks who belong to it.

Episode 83 is a conversation with prolific podcaster and veteran DC punk Brian Gathy. Brian is co-host of End On End, a pod that examines every Discord Records title in the order they were released, he also singlehandedly produces and hosts The Unanimous Hour dedicated to deciphering the fractal brilliance of DC band Lungfish's catalog of songs as well as Dweller On the Threshold which explores the music of Van Morrison. Our conversation touches on those projects but the bulk of our talk focuses on a new podcast (my second, his FOURTH) that we discuss and name during the course of this episode. The new pod will be called Deathless Neverborn and is dedicated to exploring what might be called ‘the spiritual journey' primarily from a Buddhist and Non-dual perspective. Having just met, we share how the idea for the pod came to be and we open up about some of the formative experiences that have shaped our lives and led us to want to make a pod like DN. So here it is dear listener, the birth of Deathless Neverborn podcast! Thank you SO MUCH for listening and for supporting the pod!

On today's show, my sole guest, Glenn Donaldson( The Reds, Pinks, and Purples), and I discuss the labyrinth that is Fearfully and Wonderfully, as well as Glenn's love for all things Lungfish.
"And once again we get attached And think we've found the answer Here we go again....Here we go again!" Chune that one innit! the lads are back chatting shit about painting, buzzing about panel lines and gaming in 2023...and obvs moaning about the heat in true northern style. it also sounds like Paulo is in that shop at the start of Shaun of the Dead for some reason too. Shout out to Brendan as always. this weeks band is Lungfish https://open.spotify.com/artist/2aeccL0hsJAfsP56dRdrBI this weeks Wildings Wildling is Bretonian Army Painter on insta https://www.instagram.com/p/CtsOa4VNeMm/?igshid=MTBlZjE4YzMxOA%3D%3D
This world is a strange place to say the least. On this episode Greg Polard (Where It Went, Something To Du) and I rap rhapsodic about the track This World. After that, we present part two of my conversation with Joe Lally (Fugazi, Messthetics). Lots of mystery and magic to be had for all!
This episode is the opening of the door on one of, if not the, towering masterpiece albums of the band's catalog. Love is love, indeed. Join me and Scott Sheridan as we turn over the multi-faceted jewel of a first track on the album of the same name. Later in the show Joe Lally (Fugazi/Messthetics) joins the conversation/congregation. Shows like this one are why I love about doing this work.
With this episode, we come to the end of the first official Lungfish album on Dischord. A song that foreshadows much of what's to come for this project. Yah Soon joins me once again to wade into the deep end of this track. Then Patrick Kindlon (Drug Church/Self Defense Family) joins us to continue our discussion about Higg's seemingly effortless command of language, Ray Cappo and many philosophical threads in between....
Who doesn't like a good survivor story? Today, Laura and Katy talk about some species who have survived mass extinctions and remain relatively unchanged. These living fossils help us to imagine what our planet looked like millions of years ago and how evolution has changed things. They are the embodiment of the old adage, “if it ain't broke, don't fix it.”Support the show
Beware! You are about to enter into a stream of conversation about perhaps one of the heaviest, deepest and darkest of early Lungfish tracks. By all accounts, their first epic composition. Dan Shaw, of the band Landowner, returns to take this beast on and try and make sense of the mental carnage this song delivers. Then author/comic book writer/musician/podcaster Patrick Kindlon (Drug Church/Self Defense Family) joins me to plumb the depths of Lungfish obsession. I admit I'm afraid,....
This week on The Children's Hour, we learn about one of the most ancient animals to live on our planet, that is still alive today: Lungfish.
The journey to the writhing heart of the cosmos begins here...Or at least the soundtrack, thereof. This episode Drew, Scott Sheridan and myself talk about the CD that collects the first two Lungfish releases. To say I'm excited about this episode is a gross understatement. Spoiler alert ; Lungfish = Brian's favorite band. As with most CD episodes, Scott saves the day (and your ears), by bringing a fresh perspective and enthusiasm to our musings. Later on the show, Chris Richards from Q and not U (and great writer for the Washington Post, among others) chimes in with some rapid-fire insight and humor on the band and this release. Hop onboard and tune into the Broadcast....
And we're back,...sorry for the slight pause/in-breath, but the show is definitely back and better than ever. Lots of exciting things on the horizon. Today's show was a fun one. First we deep dive two tracks with Jon Evans and the evolution of his Lungfish journey. Then we talk to the ridiculously prolific and talented mystic artist/musician Arrington De Dionyso. Please look up his work (both as a solo artist and as leader of the powerful Old Time Relijun) on band camp!
This episode is a milestone of sorts. On it, we discuss the first album by one of my all time favorite bands (of any genre). The almighty and mysterious Lungfish. Do yourselves a favor and go listen to the record (right after the episode)!
This month, what ultrasound scans are revealing about how primates learn to cry before birth, the new imaging technique highlighting brain structural changes linked to speech and language impairments, why eLife is breaking the publishing mould to prioritise the preprint in future, and how evolution turn a single lung into a pair...

Devon Sorvari gives a stunning performance of Meghan Gilliss's timely and powerfully affecting audiobook about a young family in dire circumstances. Host Jo Reed and AudioFile's Michele Cobb discuss a novel told in a poetic style that builds tension around the delicacy of struggling and living on the edge. Tuck; her husband, Paul; and their young daughter, Agnes, squat in her late grandmother's home on a remote Maine island. Paul is depleting the family's meager funds, as he's addicted to an herbal opiate, and the family receives little help. Sorvari wonderfully mines the resilience and bravery of the one-of-a-kind Tuck. This provocative and harrowing audiobook is essential listening. Read the full review of the audiobook on AudioFile's website. Published by HighBridge Audio.

Our guests this week are Chad Clark and Erin Nelson of DC post-punk band Beauty Pill. Clark emerged from the DC/Dischord punk scene with his band Smart Went Crazy, and he worked on records by Fugazi, Dismemberment Plan, Lungfish, Q & Not U, and many more. He formed Beauty Pill in the early 2000s and it's proved a musically restless unit ever since. He's allowed the band to shift and morph in public and in 2012 the group was commissioned to craft the album Beauty Pill Describes Things As They Are live in public. Most recently, the band has released some great EPs, including Instant Night and Please Advise. For this episode of Transmissions, host Jason P. Woodbury spoke with Clark and Nelson about the oblique lyrical references in these works—get ready for our most Matt Damon-centric episode yet—as well as dig into the influence of Miles Davis, William Eggleston, and collaborations with the Taffety Punk Theatre Company.
