Habitat Enrichment

Dec 8, 2022 7:00 AM – 10:00 AM

Music

With Krista

Habitat Enrichment is the concept of introducing novelty to an animal's enclosure to keep it from getting bored or sad. Let me play you something fun. Genres span world and time, just like a cat with a box to play in.

Some specialties you can usually hear a little on my show: Luk Thuong, 60s crooners, cow punk, and synthwave. If you don't like the song currently playing, wait approximately 2 minutes for something else!

dust and xylophones

rarities from Burmese and Karen musicians today, along with all sorts of stuff from around the world.
