Whether you\u2019ve been dive-bombed by one, heard them swarming in the trees at sunset, or watched them gather ominously on the power lines \u00e0 la The Birds, everyone in Seattle has a corvid story\u2014 often in the form of a complaint. But crows are remarkable, highly intelligent creatures who have much to teach us about both the animal world and ourselves. In this special and final live episode of the Beast of Seattle podcast series, recorded on November 17, 2021, Town Hall\u2019s Podcast Artist-in-Residence Samantha Allen interviews University of Washington professor and world-renowned crow expert, Dr. John Marzluff, about our constantly cawing cohabitants. Why do so many live among us? And what can we learn from watching their behaviors? Samantha Allen is the author of Patricia Wants to Cuddle and the Lambda Literary Award finalist, Real Queer America: LGBT Stories from Red States. A GLAAD Award-winning journalist, Samantha\u2019s writing has been published by The New York Times, Rolling Stone, CNN, and more. The music for this podcast was written and performed by John Gould.
