This week, it’s all about the music, man. Matthew Burtner is an Alaskan-born composer, sound artist, and eco-acoustician whose music is inspired by the sounds of glaciers and, in many ways, the reality of climate change. David Jude is research scientist emeritus at the University of Michigan’s School for Environment and Sustainability, a renowned fish biologist, and the discoverer of the invasive round and tubenose goby fish in the Great Lakes. Finally, Jerry Mack is the host of “Nothin’ But the Blues” and “Yazoo City Calling” on WCBN, and he leads the band “Jerry Mack and the Terraplanes.”
