We recently completed the changeover to a new, much improved audio management system, including a new program scheduling computer, file servers, workstations and more secure and reliable IT networking between our studios in Garden City and Amarillo. This work involved thousands of audio files and lines of programming code, so you may hear some glitches in our programming as we "burn-in" the system in the coming days. We apologize for any disruptions to your listening. If you have questions or problems to report, please contact HPPR's Technical Director, Alex Fregger (afregger@hppr.org).

2 Zoos In Czech Republic Set Up Daily Zoom Calls For Chimps

A MARTINEZ, HOST:

Since the start of the pandemic, video calls have become a part of life for, really, many of us. Now two chimps in two Czech zoos are getting in on it. To make up for lack of visitors due to COVID, the zoos set up screens so that the primates can peek at each other's daily lives. They were at first reluctant to approach the screens, but the zoo runners say the chimps have gotten used to them, even eating while watching the action. Chimps, they're just like us.

An earlier headline incorrectly referred to the Czech Republic as Czechoslovakia.
