The Good Whale
Fans of the movie “Free Willy” are outraged to learn that the real whale who played Willy lives in a tiny pool at an amusement park in Mexico City. So well-intentioned experts embark on an epic science experiment to try to teach one celebrity orca how to be free — while the world watches.

I listened to the whole thing in under 24 hours I couldn’t stop! So many important lessons, and such a valuable story.
Never stopped listening once I started

I just loved it. I loved the singing episode. That was a surprise. I vaguely remember the name passing by me in the news. (Papers in those days). I lived in the Rockies. I was a working mom with a busy life. I am sorry to have missed the story then. I have LOVED it now. Thank you all.
Magic! Moving, real.

By the end, I felt I learned something about being a better human. This is another podcast that proves NYT's metal beyond politics and business.
it is a crying baby

“It’s not like a crying baby, actually… it IS a crying baby” the presenter corrects his interviewee, highlighting the strong bond between mother and child and how they cry for each other when separated. It makes me wonder if Daniel consumes dairy, because this is the same thing that happens with cows and their babies everywhere, even on “organic”, “happy” farms. Seriously, look it up! Why are we ok with consuming products from the severance of one mother-child bond in milk and cheese, but not ok going to Sea World?
