About this episode

Mariah interviews Avery Tex, exploring his perspective in the ongoing narrative.

Mariah gets Avery Tex’s side of his story. Scene 7 Scene 8 Scene 9 Player (!) Notes I learned the term Umwelt from the book An Immense World by Ed Yong . If you have any interest at all in how creatures perceive their world (including humans), I heartily recommend it. There are chapters on the five senses you already know about, but also ones on heat, vibrations, pain, magnetic fields, electric fields, and more. Did you know humans can learn echolocation? It’s a brilliant book. Our music is from Purple Planet Music. Visit them at purple-planet.com . Need context? Jump to the start of the series!
