What Does it Mean to be a Crow? (Part 1)

In the first of a two-part series, host Ken Miller brings the podcast back to basics and answers key questions newer listeners may not have thought about: Why are members of the electromagnetic warfare and spectrum operations community called crows? Why is the moniker so key to understanding our mission and identity? In today’s episode, Ken is joined by John Mazluff , Professor of Wildlife Science at the University of Washington and author of “ Gifts of the Crow ” and “ In the Company of Crows and Ravens .” Together, they unpack what makes these birds so remarkable and what EMSO warfighters share in common with some of the most intelligent birds in the world.
