December 04, 2022 S2E18: Natural Sound Recording
Charley and Ken chat about field recording of natural sounds, birds in particular. It's an even more esoteric discipline than more typical birding! But it can be highly rewarding. This discussion is a good portal into a variety of related topics.

November 14, 2022 S3E15: Forest Jarvis top Philippine birding adventures
Ken chats with Forest Jarvis, an American who has made his home in the Philippines. For this week's episode, Forest tells five great stories about his adventures in pursuit of birds all over the Philippines. Want to hear about his using a thermal night vision scope to keep tabs on a half-naked drunk guy who was following him as he pursued a rare and spooky-sounding endemic owl? Give this episode a listen!
You can follow Forest's adventures on his blog: https://forest-jarvis.blogspot.com
or on Facebook: https://web.facebook.com/forest.jarvis
Forest is happy to provide advice to birders thinking of visiting the Philippines.

October 30, 2022 S3E13: Julian's Driving Stories
Ken chats with good friend of the podcast Julian Hough, in a followup episode to the Charley-and-Ken driving episode of a few weeks ago. Listening to that episode prompted a bunch of memories in Julian, some good, and some downright terrifying. Some of these stories sounded so good that we had to have him back on the podcast to tell them. Hear about how Julian almost met his end in a driving Molotov cocktail after a 5-day trek across India and Nepal on public transport!
