Flash Forward is a show about possible (and not so possible) future scenarios. What would the warranty on a sex robot look like? How would diplomacy work if we couldn’t lie? Could there ever be a fecal transplant black market? (Complicated, it wouldn’t, and yes, respectively, in case you’re curious.) Hosted and produced by award winning science journalist Rose Eveleth, each episode combines audio drama and journalism to go deep on potential tomorrows, and uncovers what those futures might re ...

This is Episode 65, and it’s all about waxwings—birds in the family Bombycillidae.
The Cedar Waxwing is one species, and there are two others that we’ll talk about.
These beautiful, elegant songbirds are loved by people across the Northern Hemisphere.
Waxwings are easy on the eyes, for sure, and that’s great. I mean, personally, I think they’re just about the most gorgeous songbirds we have in North America.
But their biology is also really interesting. So much of how waxwings live and behave is dictated by what they eat… By their specialized diet.
What is that special diet? Is it maybe something like scorpions, psychedelic mushrooms, or the blood of their enemies?
Listen and find out!
