In a very RNZ relatable story today, Jesse speaks to the man behind an album featuring endangered bird songs which has flown up the Australian charts, debuting ahead of Taylor Swift and Adele!

Anthony Albrecht is a musician and PhD candidate who hatched the idea of the Songs of Disappearance album to draw attention to the fact that one in 6 Australian bird species are under threat. You can find the album here.
