The Penguinate shop can now be found on Etsy! We decided to open up our Etsy shop to give people an opportunity to find us. Currently, we have Pear Penguin available for adoption there, we have 2020 calendars for digital download, and our Flat Friends: Penguins are waiting for new homes.
While you can also get Pear Penguin and our downloadable 2020 calendars from us at Penguinate.com, our Flat Friends: Penguins are available exclusively at Etsy. So, if you need an ornament, gift card accompaniment, tag addition to your present, champagne or wine bottle friend, or book mark, check out our Flat Friends. They come in two sizes!
Thank you so much for being a part of our penguin community. We hope to have some exciting news in the next year. It’ll come a lot sooner of we get more people on our Patreon.
New Zealand: Getting Acquainted with Auckland through Aucky Walky Tours
As we’re looking at ways to learn more about New Zealand and the places we visit, Aucky Walky’s tours are very appealing. They have two tours that we are considering: The Hello Auckland Walking Tour or Taste Auckland Food Tour.

If you want to go into radio, don’t do it by yourself. Use the ad salesperson to help you. His or her job is to make sure that you want to continue playing ads on the radio.
