Today we are sharing an episode from one of VICE's newest series -- A Show About Animals. This season, we tell the strange and wonderful story of the wildly famous Koko the “talking” Gorilla.
I hate when podcast feeds inject these cross-promotions, but I guess they’re unavoidable. Is there a way to reconfigure the forum bot to not post them here, at least?
While these cross-promotions aren’t for me normally I don’t really mind that they exist, I just delete them - but this time I was super disappointed to discover this was not in fact the Waypoint crew discussing their pets. We need to hear more about Mina and Una.
You’re Wrong About did a fantastic episode about Koko the Gorilla, if you’re interested. Turns out the story as much about gorillas as it is about severe biases against sign language and the deaf.
