Research-based, we share species details, behaviors, habitat, and conservation information. And then at the end of each show we perform an ambient soundscape, to hold space for contemplation, delight, awe and perhaps grief. Without dedicated conservation action, some of these species will not survive the 21st century. And so, though listening and learning, perhaps we might acknowledge that journey with a moment of our attention, in recognition of our kinship. Thanks for listening.","last_synced_at":null,"page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/bad-at-goodbyes-7020095"},"episode":{"title":"Cork Palm","slug":"cork-palm","published_at":"2025-10-29T14:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/bad-at-goodbyes-7020095/cork-palm","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/bad-at-goodbyes-7020095","url":"https://badatgoodbyes.com","audio_url":"https://episodes.captivate.fm/episode/49f50483-f273-4430-9040-1c4996655ea7.mp3","summary":"Cork Palm :: Microcycas Calocoma Bad at Goodbyes :: Episode 058 On today’s show we learn about the Cork Palm, a critically endangered tree native to the island of Cuba in the Caribbean Sea.
