In this week's episode, Fred and Al are putting on their tuxedos and climbing into the world of the animal spy. Is your cat watching you? How much can a lizard tell you about the Iranian nuclear program? Can hamsters taste your treachery? All this and more will be encrypted, then decrypted, then encrypted one more time for good measure and sent to you via either podcast transmission or carrier pigeon (depending on availability) for analysis. Please enjoy. (Apologies for the sound quality, you know Covid and all, but back to normal next week.)

This week Al and Fred stay perched on parrots. Fred takes us down the rabbit hole of Psychic and mystical parrots, while Al continues to learn. We talk amazing experiments and uses of the humble parrot in mysticism. Stick around till the end when Al dives back into the book for some feathery crime-fighting
