What do you think when you hear hedgehog
Growing up, NPR had an image of being mostly for stuffy old white people. Imagine my chagrin when I found myself listening to it regularly. I had become stuffy and old! Except, every now and then I catch hints of somebody behind the scenes leaving a trail of things I relate to. I’ve previously heard tracks from the Dustforce soundtrack, for instance.
This morning there was a story about a hedgehog highway in the UK. It’s three minutes of a semi-fascinating topic about the little creatures, but of course you and I don’t immediately think of actual animals when we hear “hedgehog.” Apparently some producer agrees, judging by the backing song in the end. I laughed out loud in my car when I heard it. Somebody out there gets me.
You can listen to the story below. Skip to 3:05 if you just want to hear the familiar tune.
