Summary
I'm extremely busy and, unfortunately, pausing production on Species, at least for most of this month. If you sent me a donation in January and you want a refund, contact me through mackenmurphy.org, and I will be sure to send it back to you. My sincerest apologies.

| 0:00.0 | I hate that I'm making another one of these, but long story short, I don't know when I'll be able to release another episode of species. |
| 0:08.0 | Hopefully the 29th? I genuinely don't know. |
| 0:11.4 | So if you are one of the very generous weekly donors and you donate with the expectation that I'm working on this show every week, feel free to pause donations. |
| 0:22.7 | And if you donated any day this month so far and you feel a refund is an order, I'm happy to make that happen. This month has been |
| 0:28.5 | unbelievably busy. I'll have traveled to five countries by the end of it. And in the background |
| 0:34.7 | of this travel, I've been trying to keep up with interviews and other speaking engagements, |
| 0:39.6 | a research study on human mating behavior that we're trying to get off the ground as fast as possible, |
| 0:44.4 | and of course, TikTok, a platform that has really bewildered me. |
| 0:49.0 | I'm very grateful for all of this. I really don't want you to think I'm complaining, |
| 0:52.7 | and I also don't want you to think that I complaining. And I also don't want you to think |
| 0:54.6 | that I've abandoned ship here. I've scripted an episode on Great White Sharks that I'm genuinely |
| 1:00.5 | excited to record and publish, but practically I've had to make choices with my time, and I have |
| 1:06.1 | not allocated the hours to sit down in front of a microphone and actually record that podcast and edit it, |
| 1:12.7 | which makes me very sad, because I still love animals and love talking about them, and I love |
| 1:19.5 | this audience, but pragmatically, there are just too many balls in the air right now for me to |
| 1:24.4 | catch. If you just want new content from me, and you don't mind |
| 1:29.5 | it all being about one species of animal, humans, my interview on the breakup, breakdown podcast |
| 1:35.2 | has been well received. It's about infidelity from an evolutionary perspective, mostly, as well as |
| 1:39.9 | just infidelity in general and the science, what we know about it. And I've got many new videos on |
| 1:45.3 | TikTok, where too much is happening, as well as YouTube shorts, where really almost nothing is |
| 1:50.9 | happening. That algorithm remains elusive. Anyway, species has been my creative home for five years |
| 1:58.5 | as of last Monday. And while I have no plans to stop making podcasts, |
