Kristine Schuetze with the NEW Zoological Society joins the guys to talk about things to look forward to at the NEW Zoo. New projects and upgrades are on the way, and Kristine talks a bit about the need for community involvement to raise money for the upgrades and improvements. Kristine also brings Drew Dinehard, Curator of Animals at the NEW Zoo, to share information on one of the biggest stories to come out of the Zoo since its inception: The two otters that broke free and are currently on the lamb. The good news is that the animals are used to this type of weather and are likely thriving in the wild. (We also learn a lot about animals by John Maino, who, as one listener texted, "is no Marlin Perkins".) Then, Chad Janowski, Executive Director of the Brown County STEM Innovation Center, talks about the programs available at the center. He also promotes the STEM Family Day that's coming up on April 12th.
