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":"2026-07-09T00:19:17.204280+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/bad-at-goodbyes-7020095"},"episode":{"title":"Okinawa Sumire","slug":"okinawa-sumire","published_at":"2026-06-10T12:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/bad-at-goodbyes-7020095/okinawa-sumire","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/bad-at-goodbyes-7020095","url":"https://badatgoodbyes.com/okinawa-sumire.html","audio_url":"https://episodes.captivate.fm/episode/b067381a-9442-40c5-bdfb-aebfad242a70.mp3","summary":"Okinawa Sumire :: Viola utchinensis Bad at Goodbyes :: Episode 080 On today’s show we learn about the Okinawa Sumire, a critically endangered flowering plant native to the Ryukyu Islands of Japan, in the Pacific Ocean, specifically, the island of Okinawa, roughly 400 miles southeast of the Japanese mainland.
