Ron Hendrickson adopted his first goose, peeps the goose, a number of years ago and ever since then he’s had pet geese! When he told us he could bring one of the geese with to the studio we didn’t know how it would go. Great news, Pablo the goose really did just sit there next to Ron while we swapped stories. It was unreal. To see the goose in studio go watch the episode on our YouTube channel: Midwest Flyways Podcast.
