Species of Least Concern, episode 2

[urbpan]

Hey everyone! The second episode of my podcast is up!

http://soundcloud.com/urbpan/species-of-least-concern

Please listen to it and if you like it, "like" it on facebook. If you don't like it, don't be shy tell me why!

If you want me to keep making them, please offer suggestions for topics or send me stuff to identify! Future episodes will have other peoples' voices besides my own, as I hope to hold interviews via skype, or even in person if I can swing it!

It's only eleven minutes long, just put it on as you do the dishes or something.

I'm glad you talked about mulberry. It's weird, because I've never really considered that they were food. That's true of a lot of forageable plants. Even though I know, intellectually, that they are healthful, possibly tasty, and best of all, free, I just don't think of them as "food". "Food" only comes from intentionally grown plants, whether by farmers or out in my own backyard garden. Come the Apocralypse in December, I will not survive. But at least I want to live somewhere with arable land. I could not stand living in southern California, where if you didn't provide external soil, fertilizer, and water, you couldn't grow anything.

I don't think I've ever encountered an Ectobius down here. Indoors, we get Blatella vaga from time to time, and occasionally some of the more exotic species like the Cuban. I also work with roaches professionally. They will feed on human hair and skin when populations are large enough, and postmortem roach feeding can be mistaken for 2nd degree burns.

I think your next podcast should discuss Morticia!
