Inquiry (WICN)

I recently discovered the weekly show, Inquiry, on WICN. (Mark Lynch, the host, posts links to MASSBIRD when there is an natural history-oriented guest). It isn't available as a real podcast (I haven't figured out how to subscribe) but a couple years worth of programs are available for download/streaming. I downloaded a dozen of them and have been consuming them like candy. Lynch has a knack for getting interesting guests and is an enthusiastic, knowledgeable interviewer. He is also an old alt rock guy AND a hardcore birder AND a manga fan, able to reference SS Decontrol AND Hume's tawny owl AND Osamu Tezuka. It made me wonder how often those interests cluster--is there a predictable path from underground pop culture maven to amateur natural historian?
