The Good Whale This is the story of a wildly ambitious science experiment to return Keiko to the ocean — while the world watched. A new limited podcast series from Serial Productions and the New York Times.

I just binged this six-part series by @danielgalarcon.bsky.social. Insanely good storytelling. I will assign this in my biography class next semester. www.nytimes.com/interactive/... @nicwilson.bsky.social
