Do you remember singers bursting into song on Fresh Air?

nprfreshair:

We’re planning a 25th anniversary show and we’re trying to compile a medley of artists bursting into song spontaneously during their interviews with Terry. So far, we’ve found:

Jay-Z, James Brown, Al Green, Paul McCartney and George Clinton.

But there have to be more. Can you think of any? If you can, please let me know. (mkramer AT whyy DOT org)

I can’t wait for this

They don’t participate in the social life.” [complete interview and slideshow of ants here] Wait, they interviewed an ant? That’s pretty cool. I know they’re a pretty private community.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!! Giant jellyfish are flooding into the Sea of Japan. The translucent creatures can grow as large as 6 feet in diameter and weigh 450 lbs. Over the last 5 years, millions have migrated from the coast of China into Japanese waters. Scientists believe they’re floating in on ocean currents warmed by global climate change. The jellyfish are so heavy they rip the nets of Japanese fishermen and their venom poisons the rest of the catch. (this story is about 4 years old. still fucking terrifying)
