There's nothing shy about pigeons - they're too busy surviving to worry about what people think. And most people don't really think anything about pigeons. But if you know what to look for, you'll find a tough bird built for surviving, and thriving, in the urban wilderness. In the premiere episode of The Biopolitan, we trace Columba livia's path from cliffs to cornices, explore the dangers of city life, and make a case for the pigeon as a no-nonsense beacon of adaptability. Featuring Interviews with: Karen Ann Purcell - Cornell Lab of Ornithology Colin Jerolmack - New York University Department of Sociology Drew Lesofsky - The Loft Report Joshua Pierce - Bird-X Anna Dove - New York Bird Club Colin just published his book The Global Pigeon available at The University of Chicago Press. And also featuring the tracks "In Void We Explore" and "Breaks To Rest" by Tom Hall.
