https://static01.nyt.com/images/2026/07/01/science/00SCI-WAR-WILDLIFE/00SCI-WAR-WILDLIFE-articleLarge.jpgfrom 'Chernobyl's Wildlife Cameras Reveal How War Affects Wild Animals', https://www.nytimes.com/2026/07/08/science/russia-captured-chernobyl-the-wildlife-cameras-kept-recording.html which requires a subscription to read the whole thing, but you can listen for free at: https://static.nytimes.com/narrated-articles/synthetic/article-f254aabb-046b-57a6-8356-787051d34109/job-1783501252316/article-f254aabb-046b-57a6-8356-787051d34109-job-1783501252316.mp3 BTW, audio versions of articles in the 'NY Times' are free even when reading them isn't. The URI is in the stub one can get for free, inside a tag that looks like: <audio preload="metadata" src="https://static.nytimes.com/narrated-articles/synthetic/article-f254aabb-046b-57a6-8356-787051d34109/job-1783501252316/article-f254aabb-046b-57a6-8356-787051d34109-job-1783501252316.mp3"; type="audio/mpeg"></audio> I always download articles, keep them. I have hundreds of thousands. I process them automatically and extract the audio URIs to a separate file to make listening easy. russell bell
