Nineteen Stories About Orangutans

For Orangutan Caring Week 2020, Karin Konoval curated a series of 'Radio Shows' that go into the world of orangutan caregivers. Please sit back, close your eyes, grab a drink if you wish, relax and immerse yourself in all things orangutan.  Turn that volume up!

​Welcome to part one of "Nineteen Stories About Orangutans", a four part series of stories written and read by their authors, all professional keepers in the Orangutan SSP. In this first twenty minute program, I introduce the series and how this came to be, followed by the stories "Bonnie's Bell" by Erin Stromberg, "The Quarter" by Denise Wagner, "Kristen's Intent" by Jodie Sheridan, and "Robin's Gift" by Carol Sodaro.
cheers,
