Habitat Enrichment

Feb 23, 2023 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!

I love the idea of having a cool effects board, would definitely play some quacking sound effects

Kinks have a song w Bald Mountain in title. Read recently they are having difficulty w their soc. media posts being blocked for sensitive content due to their band name. C'mon.. 60 years brand name.. give em a break
Krista (host) 7:55:21 AM
reminds me of the recent dust up over Roald Dahl. People are just now discovering he was a crude and gross writer (hence why children love his writing)

Those beignets sounded delicious. I got a mini King cake from a bakery on Sunday. 💜💛💚 Sadly, there's no baby Jesus in the cakes anymore; it's a choking hazard.

my husband makes an amazing king cake, we've been sick with colds so he didn't make it this year

Sorry.. he was the dentist.

Capt Walter Waldowski
Brian D 8:49:21 AM
But that was the reason for his nickname, anesthesia
Krista (host) 8:49:46 AM
that's interesting! I have all of the MASH on dvd but I haven't watched it.
Christine 𓅓 8:49:59 AM
That was a really good show that Esoterica put together last week. 💯
Ossy 8:51:41 AM
Ikr, Christine?
Brian D 8:51:49 AM
And his character was having some problems. So title song lyrics were not so literal but then again "character literal adjacent " maybe?
Brian D 8:53:02 AM
You won't find him on the MASH tv show really... maybe a brief mention. He's only in the Robert Altman film

The only time I ever saw the Rock-a-Teens was on the tour for this record (Cooler, NYC) and it was one of the best sets I've ever seen in a small venue. No one knew who they were, but they utterly killed it.
Krista (host) 9:46:02 AM
ah, lucky
