Meleagrology (TURKEYS) with Cyler Conrad

Oh hey, it's the middle-aged lady signing up for a flamenco class, Allie Ward, and don't you dare assume this is an encore episode. Turkeys in May, you ask. Have you ever heard of an edit calendar, you may be asking me? I have, and I don't care. This is a natural fit for coming out in November, which is why we're putting it out in May.

I want you to hear about the wonders of giant birds all year round because they're out there gobble squawking and manipulating you every day the sun shines and even on days that it doesn't. So we're putting this fresh brand new episode out in May. As it turns out, I've lived my life greatly misinformed about turkeys. And unless you're a malay growlogist,

you will also be shocked. Speaking of theology, it is impossible to say. I just tried to say it several times and had to cut out the blunders, but this term has been used exactly once as far as the literature goes, but I'm gonna stick to it. So the genus and species of the bird in question is Melagris galopavo, and it's the turkey, and its name means literally Guinea fowl rooster peacock.

We already have this episode, so unlocking it is cheap and permanent: the full transcript (86 minutes, 15,278 words), segment and word-level timestamps, and .txt, .srt, .vtt and word-level JSON downloads, as many times as you like, forever.
