Ever since Meaghan suggested that Drea include animal noises in a podcast, the later has been itching to do it. She wrapped  those noises into a neat little story about the Rise and Fall and Rise of Gorongosa National Park that took place from the time Portugal set the land aside as a hunting range in the 1920s, through the ravages of a two decade civil war in the late 20th century, to the ongoing effort to reestablish this wonderful habitat for thousands of animals.

The animal noises got a little fucked up and shortened. The pod still makes sense but it's a little wonky. Sorry about that.
