## Resource

This week’s Flightless Bird comes to you live from Austin, where David and Rob explore the city before interviewing a range of guests to dig deeper into what Austin, TX is all about! They meet Merlin Tuttle, the legend responsible for the bats under the bridge, and who helped change Austin’s (and America’s) perception of this misunderstood animal. They’re also joined by Erik Sprague AKA the Lizardman - best known for his body modification, including his sharpened teeth, full-body tattoo of green scales, bifurcated tongue, subdermal implants and green-inked lips. If that’s not enough, criminologist Kim Rossmo delves into the Rainey Street Ripper and "The Yogurt Shop Murders" to try and understand the difference between a real serial killer and a myth - and to top it all of, Rosabel appears - thanks to Webworm’s Patreon members!
