This week on Talking Apes, we're entering the personal world of gorillas and a remarkable woman who has dedicated her life to their stories: Beth Armstrong. As a former gorilla keeper at the Columbus Zoo, Beth's career spans from revolutionizing gorilla care in zoos to advocating for conservation in the wild. She brings decades of experience, wisdom, and unapologetic passion for these gentle giants.Beth's stories from the field are as vivid as they are moving. She describes the transformation of gorilla enclosures from barren cages to enriched spaces that reflect the dignity these animals deserve, built on the simple principle of listening to what the gorillas were telling her. Her work didn't stop at the zoo gates—Beth's commitment to field conservation and questioning the role zoos play in the bigger picture of species survival has reshaped how we view these institutions today.In this episode, Beth also shares poignant reflections on humanity's connection to gorillas, the injustices they've faced, and how each of us can play a part in their story. From heartwarming tales of gorilla mothers to the challenges of fostering community-driven conservation, Beth's insights remind us that conservation is, at its core, about relationships—between people, animals, and ecosystems.‘Conservation is nothing but personal—it's about relationships and community.'Tune in to hear Beth's unforgettable journey, her advice for anyone passionate about making a difference, and why telling these stories matters more than ever.

The modern zoo bears little resemblance to those you, or your parents, may remember. The cramped dirty cages that characterized the zoos of a prior era have now been replaced by more open settings that may mimic an animal's natural habitat. One of the principal architects of that transformation was longtime Columbus Zoo director Jack Hanna. He took over an aging and decrepit facility and turned it into a showplace, attracting thousands of visitors. In this 1989 interview Hanna discusses his autobiography Monkeys On The Interstate.

Dan Wetzel, Ross Dellenger & SI's Pat Forde react to the breaking development that the University of Colorado is expected to join the Big 12 in 2024.In a very busy week with many headlines, the Colorado Buffaloes stole the show. After leaving the Big 12 in 2010, it is basically a done deal that Colorado will return to the conference after their patience with the Pac-12 wore thin. The guys speculate which other schools could join Colorado in the move & if it is even a good move in the first place.Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh is looking at the very real possibility of being suspended for the first four games of the 2023 college football season. Not all hope is lost for Michigan fans as the games should be easy in his absence, but some are shocked that the NCAA actually levied a punishment. The suspension stems from recruiting infractions that took place during the COVID-19 pandemic, which Harbaugh tried to lie about, thereby making the punishment worse.Ryan Day spoke at Big Ten media days and caused quite a stir about the chance that the Ohio State/Michigan game could be moved. Due to the elimination of the Big Ten West & Big Ten East divisions, Michigan & Ohio State's traditional end-of-season game could be moved up to prevent playing each other in back-to-back weeks.In Iowa news, Kirk Ferentz coined a new slogan for the Iowa football program by noting his admiration for punters. Additionally, two Iowa offensive linemen competed against each other in a hay bale throwing contest.Lastly, Dan has a new favorite coach of the week & the Columbus Zoo made a questionable mistake.1:00 - Colorado is moving to the Big 1210:48 Who else could be joining Colorado in the Big 12?24:11 Jim Harbaugh is expected to receive a 4 game suspension this season34:46 Ryan Day stated that the Ohio State - Michigan game may get moved42:52 Kirk Ferentz unveiled his appreciation for punters54:00 Dan's favorite coach of the week56:16 The Columbus Zoo was confused about a gorilla birthFollow Dan @DanWetzelFollow Pat @ByPatFordeFollow Ross @RossDellengerCheck out all the episodes of the College Football Enquirer and the rest of the Yahoo Sports podcast family at https://apple.co/3zEuTQj or at Yahoo Sports PodcastsSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
