Aired 12/8/2025. For the final episode of 2025, Jeremy and Kiley are joined by Kendahl Chergosky (and bird friend Winona) from the World Bird Sanctuary. For the news, three cover how a volcanic eruption caused the Bubonic Plague, deep sea mining for green technologies, and a satellite company's ambitious plan to control sunlight. After the break, we talk all things birding, including the ecological importance of birds, bird watching, services of World Bird Sanctuary, bird counts, and how citizens can protect birds in their communities.
