Deliverance
6/18/202650 min
Sammy has three loves. Bumble bees, the Bible and boys. Raised by preachers, he’s kept of one these secret, but Deliverance Day is on the way.
A very big thank you to Dr. Sammy Ramsey and Pastor Roosevelt Ramsey for sharing their story! You can learn more about Sammy and his work with bees here.
Big love and thanks to Lulu Miller as well.
Sammy and Lulu work together to make a kids podcast for Radiolab, it’s called Terrestrials and they just dropped an episode all about dads in the animal world... How they’re different than what you’ve been taught. It’s called “The DADventure.” It’s a very fun romp, beautifully sound designed and full of great stories. Go listen to Terrestrials on any podcast platform!
Produced by Lulu Miller and Nancy López, original score by Nicholas Marks.

[mellow music] Snap Studios. [mellow music] Okay, so today's story has a very strange providence. So imagine I'm minding my business, you know, I get a note from one of my heroes, Lulu Miller, co-host of Radiolab, author of books, all around cool person, and Lulu says that she has a story. She lays it out, and I'm thinking, "This is gonna be a very strange Radiolab piece." And she says, "No, no, no, no. It's kinda more in the Snap lane." What? Lulu, do you mean... Are you suggesting, could it be a Radiolab-Snap Judgment co-production situation? Yes. [cheering] Snap Nation, today on Radio Snap, uh, uh, Snap Lab, we proudly present Deliverance. And today's mashup episode begins with the always curious Lulu Miller, the host of Radiolab. It's about her friend/fellow nerd, Sammy Ramsey. Sammy's a rockstar entomologist.
