  • Spot on, spotted owls

    Great story and unbiased coverage. It brought back my time hearing spotted owls while firefighting on OR’s Umpqua NP, in early 80’s. And the 1st time I heard the invasive barred owl in OR, 1994.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

It’s like riding a bike
Q: Can you tell me about that label?
Marley Blonsky explains that she uses “fat” as a neutral descriptor of body size and as a way to address the stigma around the word.
It’s like riding a bike
Q: How did the crash change things for you? How are you relating to biking differently?
Reece Taylor Williams says the crash took away some of biking's enjoyment and made him think of it as a form of commuting, not a source of freedom.
Zombies, jack-o’-lanterns, and our spooky scary skeletons
Q: I got them in part because I have a lot of hearing loss in my family, but I'm finding that I'm having to crank up the volume, and I'm wondering if the bone conduction is better or worse for like hearing loss than regular headphones.
Bone conduction headphones are not necessarily safer. Their weaker sound quality and inability to block noisy surroundings can lead people to turn up the volume. Use them in quieter places, monitor listening levels, and give ears breaks.
Zombies, jack-o’-lanterns, and our spooky scary skeletons
Q: Are there any real life zombies?
Some animals have zombie-like traits, including fungi that alter carpenter ant behavior. Salmon returning to spawn can also look like the living dead as exhaustion and infections damage their bodies, but they are not technically dead or controlled by a fungus.
Operation Night Cat Update: New Plea Deals and Charges
Q: What's the news with him? What's going on with him?
Tom Kelly is jailed awaiting trial on rape charges unrelated to Operation Night Cat. He also faces a perjury trial scheduled for March 2027.
