How Our Reporter Learned to Love Bats
By Gabriel Blanco, Farah Otero-Amad, Claire Hogan and Sam Anderson•July 8, 2024
Sam Anderson, the host and reporter behind the podcast “Animal” for The New York Times Magazine, went on a journey to Mexico to conquer his fear of bats. He’s not alone. Bats seem spooky. They live in the dark. They don’t fly like birds, in big, smooth arcs — they flit, twisting and flapping and tumbling like confetti in a wind tunnel. They’re prevalent in scary tales for children.
