Hi friends, I’m stoked to announce a new broadcast project, dropping weekly on Sundays at 10am eastern on Electromagnetic radio, launching this Sunday April 14th. Please join me for Bad at Goodbyes. Each week on Bad at Goodbyes we spotlight species from the IUCN Critically Endangered Red List, plants and animals near the edge of extinction. We’ll share species details, research and conservation information, and then spend the bulk of the show creating an original, kind of elegiac soundbath, a space for contemplation and self-reflection and mourning. It’s unlikely that these species will survive the 21st century, 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. Tune in Sundays at em-radio.com. Thank you for listening.
