In this week's episode, David and Rob take calls from Flightless Bird listeners, who pitch the topics they want them to investigate! From a man who tells of being woken up at age 13 to two men in his room with zipties who abducted him to a controversial “Wilderness Therapy Camp”, to someone involved in competitive air ballooning, to an intern involved in the infamous “Kony2012” campaign, we hear from Birdies with stories to tell.

What is Flights of Fancy about?
So, get ready to hear from a bunch of flightless bird listeners, aka birdies, who are involved in something interesting, surprising, weird, and educational, because this is the Flights of Fancy episode.
Rob, I'm excited to get into this. Me too. We had quite a few submissions. You were combing through them.
difficult to pick yeah it's always a little difficult to pick but there's some good ones and i think we've got enough to do a couple of these i get excited by this because a i can sort of take a week off yeah and also this is quite a compelling episode we're going to make but then also it's just ideas for like other amazing episodes down the line
Yeah, it's three birds with one stone.
It's three birds with one stone. I kind of hate you for saying that. A tiny bit of admin before we get into it. We have a website now where we sort of want to put all the things. So it's flightlessbirdpod.com. And on there, we've got the t-shirts that we have for sale. If you want a Flightless Bird t-shirt, we have the ticket links for the two live shows we've got coming up in San Francisco.
Yes, we've got April 13th in Portland. Yes. And April 18th in San Francisco. Buy tickets to both. There's still tickets.
There are. And so that is on flightlessbirdpod.com. And you'll also find where to watch us on YouTube there. And there's another tab for like all the audio places. If you haven't figured out how to listen to this yet, there's a real problem. But it's got lists where you can listen to the show. I know websites are a bit like 1999, but I think occasionally they're helpful just to have a central spot.
Yeah, no, it's a nice hub.
yeah because we've been sending people to my instagram and like other places so if we talk about anything chances are it will be on that website it's just all things flightless bird because when you go to david's instagram you got to deal with like weird animal stuff he's really plugging his web web worm all the time yeah yeah it's a it's a mess you'll be like what is this it's like if your hair was a social account
