Hello, friends. I have a real treat for you this week. There is a new podcast in town, and it is made by

0:06.3

the genius duo of birding musicians, Tommy Siegel and Billy Libby. Y'all might recognize Tommy

0:13.6

from his extremely accurate bird illustrations and comics, or from his music in my personal

0:20.7

favorite band of all time, Jukebox

0:22.3

the Ghost. A longtime listeners of our show might also remember his appearance on episode 153,

0:28.5

where we reviewed Sand Hill Cranes together. You may also recognize Billy from his music career,

Gamble's Quail and the American Crow.

1:27.3

And those are all out now. And just as a

heads up while this one is clean, the other two episodes contain some adult language. So you can head

1:35.8

over to the extremely accurate bird songs podcast for more and follow along as they make

songs for every bird in the world.
