    A note on accuracy: I strive for it! These episodes are well-researched and built from scholarly sources, hoping to provide an informed and accurate portrait of these species. That said, I’m an ambient musician! I am not an academic and have limited scientific background. I may get things wrong! If you are using this podcast for scholarship of any kind, please see the cited sources and double-check all information.

    Welcome to Bad at Goodbyes. On each episode we spotlight a plant or animal from the IUCN Critically Endangered Red List, sharing species details, research, and conservation information. And then we spend the 2nd half of the show offering an improvised ambient soundscape, a space for contemplation, awe, reflection, and perhaps grief. There is a very low likelihood that  these species will survive the 21st Century. And so perhaps we might acknowledge their passage with a moment of our attention, a recognition of our kinship, and with a commitment to personal and systemic change. Thank you for listening.
