Show Notes

This week, Chai Tea Latte takes over with a reading of the 1998 transcripts of AOL’s chat with Koko the gorilla, famed for her ability to use sign language in communication with researcher Dr. Penny Patterson.

Be sure to check out Chai’s podcast Ephemera, over at https://storiesfromtheinter.net, for more examples of stories that could only be found within the depths of the internet.
