This time we celebrate the launch of the new Echozoo project (www.echozoo.org) that imagines the sounds of extinct species in their habitats, my composer and sound artist Michael Riley https://mikronesia.bandcamp.com/

We ponder the sounds of extinction and the past, and ponder the present of the natural world. With thanks to Radio Aporee and all the artists that upload their sounds over there, so we can keep listening into this big, beautiful world...

...and as always a huge thanks to our Patreons for keeping this show going!! Find our Patreon over at www.Patreon.com/TheWillowsNest or if you can make a one-time donation at www.paypal.me/bansheemedia to help us cover costs.
