    BONUS - Interview with Hannah Hughes

    BONUS - Interview with Hannah Hughes

    Hannah Hughes is a wild animal keeper at the Bronx Zoo in New York and works in the ornithology department. She is also conveniently a close friend of mine! Yes, nepotism is alive and well here at the pod, and I'm lucky enough to know a very cool person who has loads of first-hand experience with penguins.
    Listen to Hannah and I chat about throuples, egg stealing, and what people always get wrong about penguins.

I have been looking for exactly this.

There is barely any stuff out there collecting all the evidence of how queer nature is. This is the spot.
