I'm finally sticking to it again: new content on my Ko-fi page. To be enjoyed with and without coffee. ☕ :blobcatcoffee:
And 🤫 you find even #mosstodon there! https://ko-fi.com/naturematchcuts
1/2 In a #podcasting masterclass I learnt: ask your target audience when they listen to #podcasts, there are good and bad times. Have the courage to change them. I found: the end of the month IS bad for #NatureMatchCuts (the new episode won't come today). Now surveys!
When do you like to listen to a MONTHLY #podcast?
Feel free to comment and explain your choice (or a different idea) and to #boost it for a better result!
1/Preparing a special episode of my podcast #NatureMatchCuts about #mosses, I thought: This will be a very short episode for the "green stuff" on #Mosstodon. But hey, I dive into a wonderworld!
Of course, I'll talk about Robin Wall Kimmerer who changed my perspective on mosses profoundly. But there's so much more! You will appreciate #moss much more. Today, I research Neanderthals and Oetzi, traditional medicine, wildfires, and mosses' weird sex life. I'm so fascinated by the tiny "green stuff"!
What I learnt yesterday: Forget walking with dogs, talking to trees, or interviewing bats! That's only peanuts!
If I would connect every episode of my podcast #NatureMatchCuts with #catContent, my audience would increase immeasurably! But I'm doing something wrong.
I'm going to have a chat with a #moss that longs for #Tardigrades. (Well, that moss has surely seen a #cat!)

🧵 1/2 That's never happened to me before: My podcast script has taken on a life of its own. I had to read tonnes, dived into the sea instead of roaming through savannahs as I had intended. I tell you about bats that love cacti and plants that construct bat motels. I sing like Kermit and travel back in time to the first flowering plant thanks to a book. We meet the oldest clone organism on earth and cheerleaders that mop the seabed.
What does AI have to do with bratwurst and how do you interview a blob? A look behind the scenes of my podcast and why I interview the more-than-human world.But how the hell and why do you interview a bat and a cactus? ▶️ https://www.cronenburg.net/scicomm/ @writers
They are a biofertiliser, looking like they could walk, and they cooperate with plants, fungi, and bacteria. Often they help moss to survive. I held their small laboratory in my hand, "invented" by Earth about 2,5 billion years ago! https://www.cronenburg.net/nostoc/
#BilboPaths 🧵 Plans 1/4 I think a lot about my dogless walks in the woods because I lack my inspirer. I frantically searched for new stories on the paths. And I want to blog "quicker" stuff more often again, not painstakingly formulate an essay first. Then I realised that I just needed to chat with other creatures.😁 You showed me that the tiniest aliens could be exciting: https://mastodon.online/@NatureMC/111654010043089569 I'm still looking for a technical solution. #NatureMatchCuts#ForestWalk#hiking#biodiversity
As children we thought it was an alien invasion. The "things" could somehow move around. We often found it on the patio. Here they marched from the fields onto the path.😉
Indeed, #Nostoc or star jelly / spit of moon is a fascinating colony-building #cyanobacteria capable of #photosynthesis. Nostoc is a master of survival, symbiotic with #plants, #fungi, and other #bacteria. It can help moss to survive on bare rocks.
I know the episode about #animal#gardeners was scheduled for the end of Nov. This year is a disaster. I'm working on it, but with the loss of Bilbo, I need some time for me. Thank you for your patience! Meanwhile, you can listen to older episodes https://naturematchcuts.net#naturelovers I'll be back!
#BilboToday becomes #BilboPaths. You can follow the hashtag for more. I'll never forget what this fascinating and loving personality of a dog taught me about #nature and how to change my perspective.
As soon as I'm mobile again (carrying the dog last threw my physiotherapy back), I'm walking our old #paths again and talk about #nature!
#BilboToday Bilbo is happy. He just visited his buddy, Madame Woowoo*, and my neighbour had prepared some dice of Gruyérè for him. Not just any cheese but Gruyérè! 🐶 Now you know how some #idioms have emerged in Twolegs' language: live off the fat (cheese) of the land / leben wie ein #Beagle in Frankreich.😁
I have an idea for the most shocking #Halloween#costume: go as a #heatwave! (Written at 22°C in eastern France,normal would be 10°C). Old celebrations feel mistimed ...
🤫 I am sure you will love the sounds of my next #podcast episode of #NatureMatchCuts: You'll hear Madame Woowoo, Bilbo's big friend, and Krächzel (well, someone of his tribe), a lot of crickets .... and as always, my neighbour's roosters have to talk in the background. Appears Saturday in your podcast app! Subscribe! More info: https://naturematchcuts.net
