Of course if you closed them entirely to humans, how would we ever know what was in them? Remote-controlled probes?

Who knew spelunkers and caverns are at such odds!

Kate:

wow the acoustics are crazy
Avatar 7:23pm

I know!! And this isn't stock audio, either. It's all just what we recorded in the cave.

Doesn't it sound like cave yoga?

By the end of the show, we must all declare we know the difference between a stalagmite and a stalactite!
  7:26pm
Kimzilla:

What's our guess?

I meant what's your guess.

The problem is, spelunking sounds like way more fun than caving.

Wait, can you affect the accent of Werner Herzog??

Emily did you feel your breath shaking? I can hear a catch in it sometimes?

calvin and hobbes went spelunking all the time

@Brian: haha I wish I could!! I would have being doing it the whole time if I could do even a passable Werner Herzog.
@Kate: oh, definitely.

Ken From Hyde Park:

Stalactites hang from the ceiling (they need to hang on tight) and stalagmites are the other ones.
Avatar 7:34pm
emily:

I always think stalagMITES. like mites that crawl on the ground!
  7:34pm
james f:

dan bodah!!!

But can't mites hang from the ceiling like spiders?

Ken From Hyde Park:

I hung up a bat house on a tree in my yard about a dozen years ago. I don't think any bats ever nested in it. It fell down last fall. I should find another place for it.

kimzilla & emily:

@ Ken from HP: she talks about bat houses later on in here! I didn't even know about them before.

βrian:

I can tell you, bats really like Arvo Pärt. A small group used to live in the wall behind my speakers.

They would sing along.
Avatar 7:39pm
kimzilla & emily:

@Brian: haha! that's wonderful. they like Egyptian Shumba, too ;)

Kimzilla:

If you listen really carefully you can hear Dave the Spazz in the background.

@Ken from HP: That's on my to-do list. Especially since we shooed them outside.

wow she said that after drinking tequila

thank you, chris! we had the best time making it.

Ken From Hyde Park:

Daughter and I spied a bat the other day at dusk. So many have succumbed to the white nose fungus that it was reassuring to see one ... what a trooper!
When mom bats go out flying, the pup clings to her and goes out on the ride.

@Ken from HP: that's so sweet! they're such cool little creatures.

The last time we had a bat in the house, my cat set point. The bat was sleepy, so I could gently scoop it in a pair of gloves and take it outside.

Well obviously bats have more in common with us than rodents. Cuz of vampires.

Who is the bat person? I used to live with a Brown bat researcher years ago.

@Brian: her name is Amanda--she lives down there on the bat property. She's really bright and had so much great information. And held it together through a lot of silliness, too.

thank you, Cosmic Matrix!

Does anyone put out vampire bat feeders, akin to hummingbird feeders?

Just checked BatCon: www.batcon.org
Reminds me of how in Texas, they can detect swarms of bats on the weather radar.

@Brian: oooh, good question! what an interesting idea...
@Danne D: ew.
Avatar 7:53pm

@Ken from HP: Ava was telling us about that, too! So cool!

I've seen the evening departure of the bats from the Congress Ave bridge in Austin. It was really impressive.

@βrian - Me, too. It was like watching smoke wafting down the river.

Work on that accent, by the way.

thanks all. PS, Nick Cave is what bats listen to.

See you next time. Same bat-time; same bat-channel!

Listener Robert:

This was great radio. I do tell Steve here (a WFMU listener but not, yet, to your program) your show is frequently very interesting, and even when it's not a "grabber", it's not totally boring. But this one was a real grabber.

And such a surprise! Who would think that descriptions about a place and an activity would be so great in just audio? But when you think about it, this would've been boring video. Moving pictures would not convey well the impressions of people entering a dark space with just a narrow bit of lighting -- and then going even without that for a bit. The edited audio realities were great, and you also included plenty of interview (or dialog) with experts.
