  • Ravens!

    I love this show, especially the most recent one about ravens. The music is always on pointe, the puns are perfect and the geography is wide-ranging. I learned so much, often about things I kind of thought I knew about already. Thanks!

Small, repeatable interventions like bird-safe dots or films on windows, and turning off lights at night, have significantly reduced collisions in places like the Jacob Javits Center, demonstrating that targeted architectural changes yield tangible results.
The Dead Bird Rabbit Hole
Q: What sparked the volunteers to start documenting bird collisions in the city?
A single, striking image on Twitter of dozens of dead birds on a sidewalk during the spring migration of 2020 showed the scale and urgency, leading Melissa Breyer and others to start tracking and mitigating the issue through Project Safe Flight.
A climate activist and a gas executive walk into a bar
Q: Why did the meeting between activists and the gas company regulators work where others hadn't?
Because all parties approached the issue with a willingness to listen and find a win-win solution, combining scientific evidence about leaks and cost savings with a shared goal of protecting the community and improving air quality.
A climate activist and a gas executive walk into a bar
Q: What sparked Zeyneb's interest in geothermal as a solution for her neighborhood?
Her concern for health and the realization that older gas infrastructure and methane leaks created a clear, practical opportunity to replace gas pipes with a geothermal network that could heat and cool multiple buildings, not just one home.
Catching the Codfather
Q: Can you tell me about how you did ultimately get arrested?
The interviewee discusses the investigation process, the undercover operation and the revealing of the true scale of the operation, including the setup with undercover agents and the discovery of falsified documents. He explains how various agencies pursued leads and the tension around evidence that could prove the scope of the crime.
