This is the song of the White-throated Sparrow. This episode is not explicit. Recorded and narrated by Rob Porter. Hi! My name is Rob. I'm a naturalist and software engineer in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. For a decade I've been learning bird identification both by eye and ear, and occasionally leading small group birding outings with the Hamilton Naturalists' Club. In the last few years I've also been recording birdsong, both with my handheld setup (iPhone + mic) and with automated bioacoustic recording devices I've built or acquired. Last year I set up the Hamilton Bioacoustics Research Project where we've recorded thousands of hours of soundscapes in natural spaces throughout our region. We've also devised various methods for volunteers to turn the recordings into observational data. This was a stepping-stone towards the creation of the Songbirding podcast. https://songbirding.com/ TRANSCRIPT This is the song of the White-throated Sparrow.

Margaret Hall finds something strange in the woods around Broken. This episode is not explicit. Voiced and written by Kari Aguila of "Broken, Alaska". www.brokenalaskapodcast.com TRANSCRIPT Margaret Hall. Part 5 Margaret Hall was bruised and battered when she walked back into Broken, Alaska the next day. She scoffed at the help her neighbors offered, and was back on the river the following week, guiding a bunch of tourists from Illinois down the frothy Jackhole River. If you see Margaret down in the Twisted Dinghy one night, ask her about it. She enjoys telling the story of the night she met the giant creature of the forest. Offer to buy her a beer or three and she'll even act out the way the creature howled and snarled as he tried to shake her from that tree. You can almost imagine being out there with her. But, as the evening draws to a close, you'll notice Margaret get a little quieter, and a little pensive. She'll get a far-away look in her eyes and you'll know she's thinking about him; respecting his strength, his survival. Margaret Hall fell a little bit in love that night. This episode of Listen, Rinse, Repeat was voiced by Kari Aguila of "Broken, Alaska" and written by Kari Aguila.

Voiced and written by Kari Aguila of "Broken, Alaska". www.brokenalaskapodcast.com TRANSCRIPT Margaret Hall. Part 4 Finally, the creature stopped rocking the massive Sitka Spruce. Margaret heard him panting as he backed away from the tree. She looked down at him and he looked up at her and for the briefest moment, their eyes met. Now, Margaret can't say for sure what that mysterious creature was thinking in that moment, but the way she tells it, she saw something akin to respect in his eyes. He stared at her, heaved a sigh, and maybe, just maybe, nodded a bit before turning and running back the way he had come. The wind kicked up, and the clouds quickly pulled closed the curtain on moonlight, plunging the forest into darkness again. Listen to the conclusion of Margaret Hall's story in Part 5.

Part 3 Margaret Hall tried to stand as the creature barreled toward her tree stand, but was held back by the straps that tied her to the tree. She braced herself and clutched her gun to her chest as the animal collided with the giant spruce. He let out a terrible howl as his long arms wrapped half way around the tree trunk, and he leaned his weight back and forth as he began to push and pull the tree. Margaret hollered into the night as she felt the tree begin to sway, her body rocking back and forth with each tug of the creature below. As his pace quickened, her tree swayed like it was in a hurricane, and Margaret saw the sky and the ground alternately flashing before her eyes in rapid pulses. Her homemade granola, her backpack, her camouflage face makeup, her ammo, her water bottle all flew into the air, but Margaret remained in her tree stand, strapped tight to the trunk of the mighty tree as it rocked. Will Margaret survive the terror in her tree? Listen to Part 4 of Margaret Hall! This episode of Listen, Rinse, Repeat was voiced by Kari Aguila of "Broken, Alaska" and written by Kari Aguila.

Part 2 Margaret held her breath when she saw the massive shadow of the creature lurking below her tree stand in the dark. She froze, her heart pounding in her chest. A slight breeze rustled her hair as it passed, and within seconds Margaret saw the animal tense as her scent hit him. Suddenly, a patch of sky cleared and the full moon shone down like a spot light onto the clearing. Margaret saw the creature staring up at her. It was at least 10 feet tall, and covered head-to-toe in thick hair. Its dark eyes, as large as tea cups narrowed as it began to lurch toward the tree. Margaret, a seasoned pro not disposed to flights of panic, lifted her rifle and shot once, twice, as the creature drew near. The bullets seamed to graze off his shoulders as he ran in her direction. What will the creature do? Listen to Part 3 of Margaret Hall! This episode of Listen, Rinse, Repeat was voiced by Kari Aguila of "Broken, Alaska" and written by Kari Aguila.

Anikah is going boating on Lake Iliamna and Rose warns her about the lake monster. This episode is not explicit. Voiced by Kari Aguila and Taylor Edwards of "Broken, Alaska" and written by Kari Aguila www.brokenalaskapodcast.com TRANSCRIPT Lake Iliamna. Have fun boating this weekend, Anikah. Did you know Lake Iliamna is the largest lake in Alaska – big as the state of Connecticut! That's a big lake. But be careful. You ever hear of the lake monster? Ah, no. The creature is said to be over 60 feet long. She can arc her back above the surface, and has been known to bite right through the hull of a rowboat. You don't really believe that, do you? George tried to see her once. Few summers ago, he went to Lake Iliamna and sat in his boat. The next morning, George walked into "Brooke's Books and Other Things", Mark poured him a cup of coffee, and asked how the search had gone. George rubbed his hand across his jaw, and said, "Mark, some things in this world just ain't meant to be talked about." Never spoke of it again. Really? Maybe. Have fun boating, though!

George used to visit Mosquito Lake with Mary. This episode is not explicit. Voiced and written by Kari Aguila of "Broken, Alaska". www.brokenalaskapodcast.com TRANSCRIPT Mosquito Lake. George and Mary made their way to Mosquito Lake on the west edge of Broken, Alaska. George had two fishing rods slung over his shoulder. Mary swung the tackle box from her hand as she tucked their red plaid blanket under her arm. They sat side-by-side, lines dangling in the water, talking about their plans for the day when George would finally sell the antiques shop and they'd have enough money for their dream house in Hawaii. Mary's eyes would sparkle and a dimple would pop into her cheek, and George would fall in love with her all over again. When the cancer took Mary a couple years later, George never really recovered. Most weekdays you can still find him holed up in his antiques shop, no reason in the world to ever retire now. Most weekends, you can find him sitting at the edge of Mosquito Lake, all the reason in the world to long for days gone by.

Margaret Hall saw something strange in the woods. This episode is not explicit. Voiced and written by Kari Aguila of "Broken, Alaska". www.brokenalaskapodcast.com TRANSCRIPT Margaret Hall. Part 1 It was before dawn, and Margaret Hall was already in her deer stand high up in the forest around Broken, Alaska. Clouds covered the sky, blocking out the full moon she knew was out there. She'd strapped herself to the tree so she wouldn't fall out of the stand, and was tucking her sleeping bag around her shoulders to keep warm, when she heard something in the distance. It sounded more like a bear than a deer, but she waited. Silently, she slipped the top of her body out of the sleeping bag, picked up her rifle, and checked the safety before holding it lightly across her chest. Margaret could hear branches cracking as the animal got closer to her tree. She sensed it more than she saw it when it finally reached the small clearing to her left. It was a shadow, a massive tall thing, and it walked on two feet, its long arms dangling by its sides. Want to hear more? Listen for Part 2 of Margaret Hall. This episode of Listen, Rinse, Repeat was voiced by Kari Aguila of "Broken, Alaska" and written by Kari Aguila.

The Song Sparrow is a small stripped sparrow with a big personality, found across North America in fields, meadows, marshes, and sometimes in backyards. Hi! My name is Rob. I'm a naturalist and software engineer in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. For a decade I've been learning bird identification both by eye and ear, and occasionally leading small group birding outings with the Hamilton Naturalists' Club. In the last few years I've also been recording birdsong, both with my handheld setup (iPhone + mic) and with automated bioacoustic recording devices I've built or acquired. Last year I set up the Hamilton Bioacoustics Research Project where we've recorded thousands of hours of soundscapes in natural spaces throughout our region. We've also devised various methods for volunteers to turn the recordings into observational data. This was a stepping-stone towards the creation of the Songbirding podcast.

Sharks lay strange eggs. This episode is not explicit. Story by PRRP, Music by Mx Michael https://www.patreon.com/freckle TRANSCRIPT Sharks lay spiral eggs. Not all sharks, just some sharks, like the horned or bullhead sharks, but all shark eggs are exceptionally strange. Let's just focus on these for now. These eggs look akin to a conical seashell or giant screw; they are often jet black, airplane black, with equally-spirally tendrils hanging from the bottom. These tendrils will catch against rocks or algae, as if an anchor, so they don't wash away in the vast expanse of the ocean. It seems parent sharks don't tend to look after their young, so I guess it behooves them to hatch somewhere secure. But I say let them drift away, for all I care. These eggs freak me out. Sharks lay strange eggs.
