Habitat Enrichment

Feb 6, 2025 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM

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!

Richard of Rocky Hill 10:12:55 AM
@ Krista (host) Good morning! I think your 2nd play was actually by pianist/singer/songwriter Akiko Yano, called "Niji Ga Detanara (If I See a Rainbow)" on her album Piano Nightly. I'm a major Akiko fan. But whatever ... thanks for the spin. :-D

@ Krista (host) Loved Jennifer Laza's English-language version of "Suki Yaki."
John Coffey 10:45:02 AM
Hi Krista, I was worried you weren't gonna do a critter story today. I do enjoy them!
Colin 10:50:32 AM
I was watching a social media video of a dolphin slurping down jellyfish this morning!
Colin 10:59:22 AM
About two years ago I witnessed a cannonball jelly swarm that drifted too close to the shore. every wave had a hundred jellies in it and lots and lots along the shore. Nobody was in the water and the sea birds were feasting.
Harry 10:59:24 AM
Wow, those sound gelatinous!

SV In Like Flynn 11:12:14 AM
Thanks for the brackish water flesh eating bacteria warning. My boat is moored on Chesapeake Bay and I'm well aware of the nettles appear when the water gets warm. But the flesh eating bacteria is what really worries me.
Krista (host) 11:13:20 AM
SV, the story of Angel Perez the crabber haunts me
SV In Like Flynn 11:20:36 AM
Ugh, just Googled Angel Perez and he's my age. And to think of all the times I've risked getting cut scrapping barnacled off my prop.
Jon Solomon 11:35:42 AM
Very much enjoyed everything I heard this morning!
Krista (host) 11:36:23 AM
Thanks, Jon
G Jax 11:45:25 AM
When I think Napster, I don't think Lars Ulrich. I think corner shop
G Jax 11:45:49 AM
Funny thing is with Napster with me anyway I would sort of try things out on App Store and end up buying it so Lars can go cry his pillow somewhere.
Krista (host) 11:46:46 AM
definitely, G Jax, the first way I ever heard corner shop was on a scratched up burnt cd
G Jax 11:46:55 AM
Not App Store. I'm talking and it didn't pick up Nspster the 2nd time I said it
G Jax 11:47:39 AM
I haven't listened to any of that Cornershop in a while.
G Jax 11:47:54 AM
I'm gonna have to dig it up or dig it out or dig it from somewhere. My house is a mess.
Colin 11:48:29 AM
i do miss the days of the full discography zip file. scuttlebutt is that they are out there. I'm just not as web savy as i used to be.
Ossy 11:48:50 AM
morning kris, nice sounds like squeaky hunter rubber boots!!!
Krista (host) 11:48:57 AM
good morning, Ossy
Ossy 11:49:14 AM
Plus what smelly weird mean crazy animal of the day, did you feature? :)
Krista (host) 11:49:24 AM
jellyfish, multiple kinds Ossy
Ossy 11:50:02 AM
they so mean, like most of them in spongeob and finding nemo, of one almost eating Dory :(
Ossy 11:51:13 AM
speaking jellyfish, that diabolical scary brutal Portuguese man o war, looks like a plastic bottle/ bag on surface
G Jax 11:52:06 AM
Portuguese man aware was a scary word from childhood. That, and quicksand.
Krista (host) 11:52:32 AM
I was afraid of getting trapped in a corn silo
Robert Sullivan 11:52:47 AM
anyway, great jellyfish-related show, though my 8 yr old nephew reported (last year after doing a report on jellyfish) that they have no brains, which is something to think about, or not think, if you are a jellyfish.
Ossy 11:52:48 AM
electric eels and piranhas are scary fuel
G Jax 11:53:02 AM
Geez man war. All right I'm gonna have to type it MAN O WAR
Ossy 11:54:02 AM
Plus my aunt used to live near deadly snakes in yheir summer house, even though we never saw them, thank goodness in eastern nigeria
Ossy 11:54:44 AM
yeah, the man aware LOOOOL are as deadly like stingrays!!!!!
Krista (host) 11:57:45 AM
yikes, Ossy, some of the snakes in Eastern Nigeria are so scary
Colin 12:01:25 PM
show went by too fast! thanks as always
