A Pedestrian Birder's Close Call- THE CAR TOOK FLIGHT

Saison 4 · Épisode 10

lundi 8 juin 2026 • Durée 11:17

In this bonus episode, Christy is on her usual 45-minute walk to her favorite village coffee house when a car goes airborne right in front of her and disappears into a ravine— the motorist, his dog and all. She reflects on the cascade of fears that hit her in those few seconds, the divine and ancestral protection she feels carried her through, and what the whole terrifying experience revealed about the very real safety gaps facing birders and pedestrians on roads like Valley Road. Plus: shout-outs to the Joe Farm down in Alabama, Ithaca's planned greenway, and a handful of Finger Lakes birding spots worth knowing.

Stay birdy, everyone.

GenX, Church, and Academia (and two pollinators) with Professor Ed J. Blum

Saison 4 · Épisode 9

jeudi 21 mai 2026 • Durée 39:00

What does it mean to grow up saved—and then spend your career studying how race, religion, and power have always been tangled together in the west? Christy sits down with Ed J. Blum, historian of Ideas, to find out. From his evangelical upbringing in suburban New Jersey to his landmark scholarship on W.E.B. Du Bois, Ed traces the through-line between personal faith and intellectual obsession. He and Christy swap stories of religious intensity— her family's fervor (at least on Easter), his Mission work, and the complicated questions both raised about belonging and poverty. Ed also pulls back the curtain on his forthcoming book, which uncovers surprising data about racial categorization in Revolutionary-era America. And somehow, it all ends with a pollinator.

Gardening in the Fingerlakes Region

Saison 4 · Épisode 8

jeudi 7 mai 2026 • Durée 12:26

In this episode, Christy checks in with a spring update from the Finger Lakes region of New York, where she'll be based full-time after permanently wrapping up a professional affiliation in North Carolina. She covers the famously unforgiving Tompkins County frost calendar—last freeze as late as May 30—and what that means for her raised garden bed at the Cottages, where she's planning a split experiment: half given over to creeping Charlie, half to two varieties of sunflower. She also introduces her two cats, Gimley and Silhouette. The episode closes on the sounds of the Finger Lakes in spring—bullfrogs, owls, birdsong—and a nudge to anyone considering a move to the area.

Common Grackle Operated a Soda Dispenser in Howard University Cafeteria.

You read that right.

In this episode of Random Nature, Christy challenges conventional wisdom about avian behavior. What happens when birds don't follow the rulebook? From American Robins defying dietary expectations to the surprising intelligence of the much-maligned Common Grackle, I explore how birds adapt to changing environments and food sources. Christy also shares a BHM fact about the importance of Howard University archives.

MLK and Climate Resilience

Saison 4 · Épisode 5

lundi 19 janvier 2026 • Durée 06:51

On this special MLK Day episode, I explore how Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s fight for justice connects directly to today’s climate crisis. From his support of sanitation workers to the roots of the environmental justice movement, I trace how King’s vision of equality and dignity for all inspires climate scientists, activists, and communities on the front lines. Join me as I examine the links between civil rights, environmental protection, and the urgent work of building a just, livable future for everyone.

Quick Update in the midst of PURE CHAOS

Saison 4 · Épisode 3

mardi 21 octobre 2025 • Durée 02:40

Hey everyone! It’s been a minute, and I just wanted to check in with you all. I’m still hanging in there, staying prayed up and meditated up amidst the tough times in my home country. A big shoutout to all the ADVOCATES holding the line—let’s keep that hope alive!

I wanted to give you some updates. First off, I’m working on a new episode that should be out this summer. I know it’s been a while, but I appreciate your patience. The exciting news is that my book, "Cultural Heritage Resilience of the Great Dismal Swamp,” is set to be released on November 27th! It was initially slated for early October 2025, but there were some scheduling changes with my publisher and my UK tour that pushed it back.

If you can, please support the book! Even if you can’t purchase it, sharing it and talking about it goes a long way.

Also, I’m thrilled to let you know that I’m currently writing another book, which will be published by Louisiana State University Press. A huge shoutout to Rand Dotson, PhD. The title is “Pest Control: Birds, Black Folk, and the History of Environmental Consciousness in the U.S. South.”

So that’s it for today! Stay prayed up, and if faith isn’t your thing, then stay meditated up! Find your joy and connect with your people. Until next time

The Griever's New Year- and some Gospel music

Saison 4 · Épisode 1

dimanche 3 août 2025 • Durée 06:14

In this poignant episode, Christy reflects on the heavy emotions surrounding her new year, a time that marks not just a fresh start but also deep sorrow for those who mourn the loss of a child. With an emphasis on Sufi philosophy, Christy navigates the concept of death as a reunion with the divine, offering solace amidst the heartache of losing her younger child Ricky, a vibrant spirit whose brief life brought immense joy to his family and friends. As Christy shares cherished memories, including the laughter shared over late-night televangelist antics, the journey of grief unfolds against the backdrop of travels planned for the year ahead. The episode is a heartfelt reminder to cherish love and connection while urging those still lost in their own struggles to embrace and share love openly.
