Extremely Accurate Bird Songs (The Podcast)
Tommy Siegel and Billy Libby are two nature-loving musicians on a quest to write a song about *EVERY* bird species on earth (there are only 11,136 species, so it shouldn't be too hard). On each episode, they'll do a deep dive to learn about each species and then play the song for a bird expert, who will decide if the song is EXTREMELY ACCURATE…or not.
