It’s 2024 and your humble hosts have been persuaded by the good podcasting people to keep on truckin’. Therefore, we bring you an episode full of bands devoted to naming themselves after the almighty diesel guzzlin’, 600 horsepower pullin’, multi-axle haulin’ hell on wheels known as trucks! This episode is, obviously, brought to you by our resident gearhead: Mr. Robert Harrison.

New to InObscuria? It’s all about digging up obscure Rock n' Punk n' Metal from one of 3 categories: the Lost, the Forgotten, or the Should Have Beens. This week we are digging and hauling by featuring bands whose names contain the word truck… I know, it’s a bit out there. Thanks, Robert! We hope that we turn you on to something new!

1. Truck - “Make Hay” from Exploring The Wah (2022)
2. Truckfighters - “Hawkshaw” from V (2016)

Donna Doherty, curator of the ungulates and carnivores at the Bronx Zoo, joined Newsline with Brigitte Quinn to discuss the "adorable gray and white balls of fur" who are making their debut in the Bronx.

What can we learn from baby animals to survive the zombie apocalypse? In this fascinating conversation, we uncover the extraordinary survival skills of various animals like octopuses, orangutans, beavers, and elephants, and discuss how we can apply their creativity, adaptability, and resilience to enhance our own chances of survival. Join us as we share life updates, our excitement for the growth of our Zombie Book Club, and our four-part strategy series to help our friend Eric build his interior design business.

From the mesmerizing intelligence and camouflage capabilities of octopuses to the tree-climbing and foraging skills of orangutans, we explore numerous ways to improve our survival techniques. Discover the incredible engineering feats of beavers and how their dam-building expertise can help us withstand a zombie-infested world. We also touch on the importance of cute animals in our lives and how they can serve as a coping strategy in dark times, as well as the effects of climate change on the environment.

In the final segment of our captivating discussion, we delve into the survival tips we can learn from the animal kingdom, such as the food storage strategies of squirrels and the adaptive camouflage of Chameleons. We also discuss the importance of community and kindness, as demonstrated by the loving behavior of elephants, and how winter tires can be repurposed as bulletproof clothing. So tune in to this engaging episode and become a better survivor by taking cues from the incredible baby animals around us!

No worries this week as we once again say G’Day to our number 1 guest from Down Under; CRAIG ELVIN! We Americans may know AC/DC and a few select other Aussie bands, but the CEO of Pub Rock is back to take us further on our continuing sonic journey across the continent to hear where that meat and two veg rock originated. Grab a pint and get ready to rock - - - Aussie-style!

What is it we do here at InObscuria? On most shows, Kevin opens the crypt to exhume and dissect from his personal collection; an artist, album, or collection of tunes from the broad spectrum of rock, punk, and metal. This go-round we turn the microphone over to Craig Elvin to give us all a schooling on more lost, forgotten and should have beens selections of Aussie Pub Rock. Our hope is always that we turn you on to something new.

1. Buffalo - “Sunrise (Come My Way)” from Volcanic Rock (1973)
2. Australian Crawl - “Things Don’t Seem” from Sirocco (1981)

The touching and beautiful photography of Suzi Eszterhas is a reminder that every photograph has the potential to say something powerful, poignant and meaningful. Much of her work used imagery of baby animals to spur big impact for conservation. On this episode of Talking Apes we’re going to be exploring the way we think, interpret and talk about conservation and wildlife through the camera lens. 

We’ll also touch on the challenges of being an incredibly talented and dedicated female photographer in a field traditionally dominated by men.

Suzi’s images have graced the covers of over 100 magazines such as Smithsonian Magazine, BBC Wildlife, TIME and Ranger Rick. Suzi joins us for a thoughtful — personal look at conservations meaning and its importance in our lives through images, and how that’s brought to life in her new book, NEW ON EARTH: Baby Animals in the Wild
