How to gild moss
Did you ever gild #moss? I did! Look behind the scenes of producing my podcast episode about moss and how moss took revenge (I don't know why): https://steadyhq.com/en/naturematchcuts/posts/5d8402be-ad02-4d23-8c3b-4e42daf6a9b0 Of course you can listen to the episode now! And I interviewed a quite seditious tardigrade!
Just search #NatureMatchCuts on your podcatcher.
I proudly present the comeback of my #podcast #NatureMatchCuts with your favourite topic: #moss
Let's dive into the emerald green magic moss worlds of this primordial #plant and #climate champion, play voyeur at their courtship, and meet moss-lovers around the globe! My interview guest is experienced in #space and winner of the Guardian Prize for the Invertebrate Of The Year 2025.

Why must everything be only complicated?! My hoster changed the platform server adress and it's a jungle of publishing the new episode of #NatureMatchCuts because the old ones are not fetched. I'm to tired for a problem analyse (think the RSS adress also changed). Could happen that I have to change it manually on all platforms.
But at least here it is on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/episode/2s4OZWgIdIXyzpq2FB3tvR?si=OOw619d1RuWw0O2VGrnYKA

2/2 BTW, my interview guest got grumpy. I never experienced such a cuddly person and so grumpy. But she has a great message for humans!
1/2 "Im Kaschde" 
as we say it in Alsatian. Time for the wrap party! 
The producer, speaker, interview guest, technician, coffee assistant, writer, and editor * have to drink a very big coffee and sit in the sun beside a moss cushion to wake up for the evening work.
* alltogether exactly one person
Tomorrow, the sound engineer (same person) will wake up early for working. The new episode of #NatureMatchCuts about moss will be published on Friday.
How I love this feeling: 1 GB of data produced, and now I make a pause for my voice and some shopping. Because later I need two voices (I speak a tardigrade) ... and more GB.
I still have to find a tardigrade voice ... perhaps someone in our village shop inspires me. 
The podcast is scripted. The comeback episode will be produced tomorrow. And woe betide the neighbour if he noises with his leaf blower or brush cutter!
@Ruth_Mottram How fascinating is this! 
I'm just producing a double episode of my podcast #NatureMatchCuts about #mosses, and I had never heard about these little tribbles before.
I have to read your links. If I have any questions later, may I ask them?
Would they survive a transplanting? Mosses are tough but very sensitive to habitat changes ...
When I was doing part of my training at a radio station, we had at least 5 employees for one broadcast, including an assistant bringing the coffee to the studio.
Nowadays, I'm completely alone doing this work and have to operate my coffee machine myself. 
The countdown for my comeback: still 2 production days.
It ends always with a surprise when I interview someone. Mrs Tardy, the tardigrade and studio guest, suddenly incites humans to #protest! And I won't cut that! You can listen to her soon!
"Imagine a human being downsized to our mighty body size, having to find prey in a watery environment, while connecting all your ganglions with your brain - and your body has only about 1.000 cells! Wouldn't you be wobbly, too?"
Mrs Tardy in my new podcast episode. I love her.
Finally, finally, I've mastered the #moss sex without using complicated technical terms. Now it's time to ask the #tardigrade more questions. Then scripting the outro. The final spurt.
In the evenings and during breaks, I create the sound design for the episode (in thoughts).
Sleep is overrated, coffee undervalued.
Tomorrow a disaster day of proofreading between multiple appointments.
I'm my own worst critic.
Then sleep. A voice needs sleep.
Well, after writing 25,000 characters (and no end), I decided that my #moss special for the podcast comeback will come in two parts. There's so much fascinating to tell about #mosses! *At least* one hour for the first part.
Now I need a short brain break outside in nature ... then back to #scripting. With a big coffee.
research that ... we don't have (enough) studies yet."
That's the fascinating thing about #mindShifts: new questions arise. Their possible answers and the subsequent debates generate more new questions and new research ideas. Homo sapiens may not be wise at all, but #curious: Homo curiosus.
Being curious, asking questions: My way of scripting my podcast. I'm happy that I will never run out of questions about #kinship and #reconnecting with #nature! https://www.discoverwildlife.com/animal-facts/mammals/do-chimpanzees-grieve

"Scientists increasingly recognising" is a sentence I read a lot when researching for my podcast #NatureMatchCuts. Fine!
In my "learning years" the world was dull, #science often depended on a strongly patriarchal system that watched #nature from the view of anthropocentric colonialists.
It was the time when every excavated dead body with weapons or status was declared as a man. https://www.sidestone.com/books/gender-stereotypes-in-archaeology And #animals had a status somewhere deep down, together with rivers and rocks, non-human
May I introduce myself? I'm Phymatocerra aterrima, the Solomon's seal #sawfly. My larvae are extreme gourmets: they can eat only leaves of #SolomonsSeal and #LilyOfTheValley. If you kill the habitats of these plants, we can't survive. Therefore, we love the #forests of #VosgesDuNord and our photographer's wild #garden.
It's #fairy: #Polygonatum multiflorum is the fairy tale's key 'Springwurz' that opens all doors - perhaps also the magic viper's cave under the elder tree? #NatureMatchCuts
At the moment, I have a #moss overflow in my brain: every day searching, thinking, scripting for my #NatureMatchCuts episode about #mosses. It will be a special for my #podcast comeback. For slowing down after work, I make some #colourful #doodles ... with ... oh, moss worlds! 
You can't imagine the effort I have to put in to write a podcast episode (will be about moss). First of all, I have to understand everything myself so that I can then tell you all about it in three sentences in the most entertaining way possible.
