Why is it always a clam out to destroy the world?? Just like Robert Frost wrote:

Some say the world will end in fire,

Some say in ice.

From what I've tasted of a clam,

I think a mollusc also can.

Naval Shipworm (Teredo navalis)

Family: Shipworm Family (Teredinidae)

IUCN Conservation Status: Unassessed

Despite what their name and worm-like bodies suggest, shipworms like the Naval Shipworm are actually small clams adapted to burrowing; their shells, made up of two halves called valves, are located on the front of their body and act like powerful jaws used to bore into surfaces (although there is no mouth behind these "jaws",) while their siphons (a pair of muscular tube-like structures that take food and water to the gills and release waste and gametes into the water, and which are protected by the shell in most other clam species,) are located on the opposite end of their body (labelled d and e in the image above.) Like most shipworms, the Naval Shipworm builds its burrows in submerged wood such as driftwood, and is particularly infamous for its habit of boring into hulls of wooden ship, threatening the ship's structural stability and allowing the species to spread to as the ships travel - today members of this species can be found in non-polar seas and estuaries worldwide, leaving it unclear where exactly they originate from. After settling in a piece of wood young Naval Shipworms construct a strong inner casing around themselves using mucus and calcium carbonate filtered from the water around them, and if left to their own devices they will remain in their burrows for the rest of their lives with only their siphons exposed, gaining nutrients from algae and wood shaving taken in through their inhalant ("intake") siphons (with their gills both filtering algae from inhaled water and housing mutualistic bacteria that secrete enzymes capable of digesting wood, which the shipworm could not do on its own) and periodically releasing dung, gametes or larvae from their exhalent ("outgoing") siphon. All Naval Shipworms are born as males, but some individuals develop into females as they get older - mature females take in gametes released by males to fertilize their eggs internally, and after hatching the larvae remain in their mother's gills where they are protected and given access to the nutrients she takes in until they are old enough to be released into the water, after which they (now known as "veligers") undergo further development as free-swimming, algae eating plankton before settling on a suitable piece of wood and developing into adults.

Favorite audio of 2022

For the past couple years I’ve been trying to make a habit of doing a sort of year in review post of my favorite audio from the past year, mainly for my own memory. So this is a non-comprehensive, unordered list of all the new music and podcasts I extra loved from 2022!

It’s funny to me that there’s only like two standout non-fiction podcasts from this year for me, not because I didn’t listen to a lot of non-fiction stuff (it’s my job) but because I haven’t been as up on new non-fiction shows.

Music:

Dragon New Warm Mountain by Big Thief

Few Good Things by Saba

Renaissance by Beyoncé

Home, before and after by Regina Spektor

Stumpwork by Dry Cleaning

Blue Rev by Alvvays

Ice, Death, Planets, Lungs, Mushrooms and Lava by King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard

Fiction podcasts:

Who Killed Avril Lavigne (Super Normal Media)

Doctor Who Redacted (BBC)

Batman: The Audio Adventures (HBO)

Goblet Wire (indie)

Shipworm (Two-Up Productions)

Quiet Part Loud (Monkeypaw Production + Gimlet)

Two Flat Earthers Kidnap a Freemason (Good Pointe)

Non-fiction podcasts:

Cover Story Season 2: Seed Money (NY Mag)

The Last Cup (NPR + Futuro)

Honorable mention: Suave (Futuro) which came out in 2021 but won a Pulitzer in 2022

Spectember #3 – Stone Eater: Clechihebog

The stone eating shipworm, larger than their ancestor.

This animal was a cave dweller, and found near the caverns connected with river or subterranean river as new habitat. Clechihebog is the armored shipworm evolved from the challenges until evolved into larger, but smaller than average land crabs 😮

Clechihebog was the English word from Scottish Gaelic word is "clach bheag ag ithe" and scrambled into their form "Clachithebhég", which means "small stone eating."

"Shipworm" sounds like a website for cataloguing and mapping your ships (both between fictional characters and between your OCs), and it would have invite-based signup system because of fucking course.

But no, it's just a nasty bug* that eats wood.

*use of "bug" here is colloquial; shipworms are actually molluscs.

#shipworm #shipping #seriously though like. i HATE websites that use an invite system #theres probably a good reason they exist (e.g preventing ddos or whatever) but also it just feels annoying and gatekeeping-adjacent

Worms: Long and Limbless

Shipworm

Despite the appearance, shipworms are actually a mollusc! These bivalves have evolved to use their shells not for protection, but for boring through driftwood.

Audio Drama Sunday: 12/18/22

The Sheridan Tapes

Alright so I’ve officially finished season one of the Sheridan Tapes and I think overall it was a great run. I’d say the first half of it was a little bit frustrating for me but that the last 6 episodes or so really started to feel much more consistent and focused. I get why the first 14 episodes are the way they are but for me it just felt like so much build up that never fully satisfied me. It’s probably my editor brain kicking into gear but there was a lot of early episodes that I think could’ve been simplified.

That said, I think there is an art to writing a podcast that can anticipate fandom and can play off its audience and I think The Sheridan Tapes is an incredible example of that. It’s not really my style of audio drama but the fact that it’s been able to sustain a fan base and grow a community around the story and characters is really inspiring. It’s that fandom that makes other people want to listen and it’s always amazing to watch that magic play out via different corners of the internet. And quite honestly I’m sure the things that I was frustrated by in terms of plot and pacing are what avid listeners love about it. Even if I had some issues with it, I’m glad I finished the first season and gave it a shot! The people who make it are lovely and I’ll probably at least start the final season (which got fully crowdfunded!!)

Shipworm

Two-Up Productions has produced some of my favorite fiction podcasts (36 Questions, season 1 of Limetown) and though I'm not sure this is really the "first" feature length audio drama piece, it might be the most memorable. Something that I think Two-Up does really well with their audio projects is that they treat the listener's position with a lot of care. In the case of Shipworm, the space for the listener is claustrophobically intimate and yet alienating, cleverly using spatial audio to put the listener in a liminal space between technology and consciousness. This relationship between the listener, Wallace (the main character) and the voice that may or may not be real is the main crux of this piece, holding all the character development, causing story twists and fueling a tone of paranoia throughout. The music and scoring is cinematic and impressive, the acting is masterful and even though details of the story could get confusing, there was never a point where I stopped trusting the writing to fill in the blanks and hold my hand. I recommend finding time to listen to it in all one go, I think there are some natural pause points where you'd expect an episode to end or an ad break to break up the flow but it was an incredible experience to absorb the whole story in a 116 min sprint. I can imagine relistening to this a couple times just to experience it all again, the immediacy and style was such an entertaining listen.

Joy to the World

This holiday limited series from audio drama vets like @starplanes and @innbetween is so cute and wholesome, a perfect feel good listen written for all ages. It’s a sweet little collection of audio Christmas cards in the form of holiday conversations shared over the radio waves, hosted by a lonely astronaut, Joy. It’s got some Charlie Brown Christmas references mixed with Delilah-esque intimacy and some nuanced discussions about family, vulnerability and queerness. Each episode is a snack sized scene that melted my heart, there’s 7 episodes out that I listened to all today. Really looking forward to the rest leading up to Christmas Eve! My favorite one so far is “Dorothy, Out at Sea”

Also for me, Christmas and radio is such a classic combo and it’s so cool to have holiday audio drama like this to listen to. I’m curious if there are other holiday-themed fiction podcasts out there?

Edit: didn’t realize they have a tumblr! @jttwpod

Burning Gotham

This week I listened to episodes 6-7 as well as a behind the scenes bonus episode and it unfortunately is just not doing it for me. In addition to all the other critiques I've had of the show over the last few weeks, what I realized this week is that the thing preventing me from liking this show is my editor brain flagging missed opportunities. Of course, this is kind of useless and selfish feedback because the underlying mentality is "this is what I would've done." But I think for my own ears there are a lot of choices in terms of pacing, structure and aesthetic that feel more distracting for me as a listener than engaging. And it just takes me out of the experience. Like why was there sound effects and 1835 scene audio all the way through the bonus episode? I understand the cutting into the scenes for reference but why is it present throughout people's interviews if this is the non-fiction part of the show? I can hear and see the shape of influences like 1865 or even something like NPR's Throughline which is why I was excited to listen but there isn't any particularly strong commitment to a recognizable style to get me excited to keep listening. I think there's only one episode left so I'm probably going to listen to that last one but I probably won't write about it.

Honorable Mention:

This is just sorta becoming my non-fiction podcast corner but I listened through all of the second season of Cover Story and I’m still just floored. NY Mag’s investigative series was one of my favorite podcasts last year and this season is similarly jaw dropping. In the first thirty seconds they say that most of the people they interviewed lied to them and then from there it’s an absolutely bat shit story that I won’t spoil. So many cringey texts and emails, amazing storytelling and brilliant scoring. It’s only 6 episodes and each one is just as addictive as the next!

"There are some dark forces you just don't want to mess around with. You understand this better than most."

Hey lovely tumblr users, my first album "Mollusk" is out now!

This album has been lovingly crafted over the past 2 years (technically) and i think it is a very fun listen! With 12 main tracks and 2 bonus tracks, Mollusk is 24 minutes long, all but 2 of which can be listened to and purchased here!!!

I truly hope each and every one of you who listen to this album enjoy it even half as much as I enjoyed creating it, and I hope you know I love you all!

more info on streaming release, physical release, and inspirations below!!!

ᴽ Streaming will be out soon, I submitted it last night so it shouldn't take TOO long.

ᴽ Physical releases of Mollusk are planned for CD at least, fulfilled by Kunaki.

ᴽ I have made a playlist featuring my inspirations for Mollusk in particular, found here!

ᴽ I plan on uploading a full album video to YouTube at some point in the near future, so watch for that!
