預告片

Trailer

After the movie “Free Willy” became a hit, word got out that the star of the film, a killer whale named Keiko, was sick and living in a tiny pool at a Mexican amusement park. Fans were outraged and pleaded for his release. “The Good Whale” tells the story of the wildly ambitious science experiment to return Keiko to the ocean — while the world watched. An epic tale that starts in Mexico and ends in Norway, the six-episode series follows Keiko as he’s transported from country to country, each time landing in the hands of well-intentioned people who believe they know what’s best for him – people who still disagree, decades later, about whether they did the right thing.

It’s such a disappointment to see more and more schemes to get people to pay for podcasts. It was one thing to want to go ad free, but total content block? Hard pass. I’m not about to subscribe to a paper that isn’t doing its job as a paper to fight against the blatant authoritarianism tearing our country apart to listen to a few podcast episodes. If you guys decide to do your jobs, maybe I’ll reconsider starting my subscription up again.
