I have several pending episodes recorded in Peru earlier this year, but I felt the need to bump this one up in the queue. <strong>Kevin Messenger’s</strong> new book on the <strong>Venomous Snakes of China</strong> was published recently, and it’s an amazing publication. I reached out to Kevin to schedule an interview the same day I received my copy.</p> <p>To find out more about the new book, tours, and much more, visit the <a href="https://herpingchina.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Herping China</strong></a> website. You can also follow Kevin on Facebook and Instagram. It was fun to talk with Kevin again and I hope to herp in China sometime.</p> <p>The seventh season of the podcast starts in May, and I want to say thank you, to all of you, for listening. Whether you listened to just one, or some, or all of the episodes, I thank you. Additional thanks to those of you who reached out with feedback.</p> <p><strong>PATRONS:</strong> As always, I am grateful to all the show’s patrons who help to keep the show moving forward. And if you’re out there listening and you would like to kick in a few bucks, there are several ways to do so – you can make a one-time contribution via PayPal or Venmo (please contact me via email to <strong>somuchpingle@gmail.com</strong>).

This episode was recorded in February on our second trip, at the Santa Cruz field station. Nine of our fourteen clients were from Arkansas, and since I couldn’t talk to all nine at once, they appointed some representatives, and I found myself talking with <strong>Gabrielle Hargrove, Thomas Belford</strong>, and <strong>Brad Birchfield</strong>. We had an excellent conversation and I do want to give a shout-out to the whole Arkansas crew – <strong>Cyndi Porter, Caden Porter, Jeremy Sloan, Brad Birchfield, Reagan Birchfield, Gabby</strong> and <strong>AJ Hargrove, Thomas Belford</strong> and <strong>Anthony Belford</strong>. So much fun hanging out with this crew and of course, the other folks on the trip as well.</p> <p><strong>PATRONS:</strong> As always, I am grateful to all the show’s patrons who help to keep the show moving forward.
