  • Summary

  • Today on Wonder, we’re traveling to the vast freshwater plains of Uganda to meet one of its most impressive and solitary inhabitants: the Shoebill stork. Just before dawn, when the air is heavy with the scent of dewy plantlife, this huge creature moves nimbly through papyrus wetlands. It appears prehistoric, a dinosaur transported to the present day. With a muscular body and steely grey feathers, the stork is the king of the swamp. So join us, and spend five minutes in the freshwater plains of Uganda, where the quiet is interrupted only by chirping crickets and the splash of the Shoebill stork’s search for food. Put on your headphones, close your eyes, and take five minutes to yourself — to breathe, learn, and wonder. This is Wonder, a weekly five-minute audio experience designed to transport you far away from the chaos of everyday life. Wonder is a Brazen production. To find out more visit brazen.fm/wonder.
