The Poor Bird Who Could Not Fly

This episode is dedicated to the extinct bird of the Great Auk – a symbolic story of biodiversity loss. However, the enthusiasm is interrupted when the angry editor calls again, demanding more structure, focus, and less alcoholism in the program. Mother Nature reluctantly fills out a form, while the fate of the Great Auk mirrors a deeper crisis. Sweet Little Human is an Orkan Media production released in collaboration with R8dio and funded by The Carlsberg Foundation. Written, edited and produced by Nikolaj Kirk, Roxanne Batty, Jens Raunkjær and Magnus Møller.
