Wikipedia Favourites

from Ordinary Observations

Join Mark & Jack this week as we pay homage to the greatest website ever created, Wikipedia. Spring is finally here, so why not lace up with us for a casual scroll through a few of our personal favourite entries. Mark gets started with a beautiful tale, found at the not-so-frequently-visited intersection of government policy, caving, and dairy. This is Government Cheese. Next, he lets his anarchist-leaning, animal-loving, sniffer-dog-averse side shine through with his poetic retelling of how a handful of lowly street mutts joined a fight for what's right and became beloved by the masses, in his recount of the wiki on Street Dogs. Jack proclaims his love for lists with an eclectic selection of individual cetaceans. We hear from 52-Hertz, the "World's loneliest whale". We pay our respects to KOBO, who would probably rather not be in a museum. And we wonder what really happened to Opo the friendly dolphin that fateful evening in the summer of 1956. All this and a whole lotta laughs this week on Ordinary Observations. Hosts: Mark Stribling & Jack Williamson This is a podcast by K103 Göteborgs Studentradio.

Biblical Times Podcast Liora Ravid The Bible isn’t just a religious text - it’s a time machine that transports us to the day-to-day lives of ordinary people who married, had kids, toiled the land, experienced seasons of bounty and hunger, and withstood years of warfare.
