  • 0033: Songs of Earth

    Our series aims to collect music that “celebrates the Earth,” but that can take many forms. Earth is huge, after all. In this episode we feature new releases that celebrate the whole planet. In fact, every song in this mix has the word “Earth” in the title. No instrumentals in this one. Call them “songs of Earth.”

  • 0024: Songs of Migration, for the Birds, for the Insects, for the Planet

    World Migratory Bird Day is twice a year, in the spring and fall. The next one is October 12th, 2024 and the key message is PROTECT INSECTS, PROTECT BIRDS. According to the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, insects are the most diverse group of organism on the planet, they’re integral to our nutritional systems, their populations appear to be declining significantly around the world and they are especially important to the survival of birds, particularly during migration periods. So this episode is “For the Birds” [and “For the Insects”].
