BEST OF THE GIST: Penguin Poop Edition

About this episode

In this installment of Best Of The Gist, upon hearing the news that researchers had discovered four previously unknown colonies of emperor penguins with the help of satellite imagery, we give to you Mike's 2017 interview with penguin researcher Michelle LeRue. Then we replay Mike's January 24, 2024 Spiel about The Los Angeles Times, which isn't his favorite news source.
