ROGC: The Henny Penny Time Machine

“If I only knew then what I know now…” as the saying goes. But by the time the light bulb finally flickers on, what difference does it make? No one’s ever listened to a crazy ole hen anyway.
No, Miss Penny, your only alternative was/is to take matters into your own errr..”hands”. Go back in time and peck at the eyes & loins of the youthful parents of future evil-doers yourself. Here’s how & why..

ROGC: 17 Year Cicada

After 17 years of loveless, subterranian root munching, how about inviting all your swingin single pals for the biggest ‘hook-up’ party of your seemingly eternal pupal life!

Let’s make some noise!!! Yes, I realize not all of the cicadas in this episode are of the aforementioned variety…. But with all the merry-making, I don’t think anyone minded a handful of inter-species party crashers.

I’d discovered a bunch of cassette recordings online of a woman describing the month-long coming (and going) of 17 year Cicadas (Brood X) in 2004 and 1987. While her cicadas completely overloaded her recordings, her narration was what i was most attracted to… A sentimental biologist’s tone. This show was easily inspired. Insects are generally good for that.
