Today’s episode is going to… the donkey?!
Actually, today is World Donkey Day, in honor of that beast of burden and perceived to be one of the most stubborn animals. It was created by Dr. Abdul Raziq Kakar who was studying desert animals. He wondered why there was no celebration of this animal, known for their resilience and their ability to bear lots of weight while moving nimbly across various terrain. In addition, they can graze on overgrown vegetation, great for combating wild fires.
For this week’s episode, we’re playing tracks from video games that feature donkeys: A Old Western gang member trying to retire peacefully, an Egyptian warrior out for revenge, and an open world of survival. With each original track, there’s also a cover or remix that follows.
Settle in and have a ride on a burro…

Bleep! with Ana Navarro
Fear thrives in silence and confusion. Ana Navarro rejects both. Her voice is an antidote to today’s chaos. Her new podcast, Bleep! with Ana Navarro, takes on today’s most pressing issues with the voices most connected to it: decision-makers, political leaders, cultural shapers, and people on the frontlines of the story. The conversations acknowledge the emotions we all feel—despair, sadness, fear— but emerge with knowledge, perspective, and hope. The belief is simple: fearless dialogue can transform fear into courage, and courage into change. When fear dominates the headlines, this show digs deeper. Because information, debate, and conversation don’t just ease fear, they give us power to shape the future.
