In this episode, Check It Out! reporter Abe Martinez leads listeners through an interview with Chris Jordan, a Seattle-based photographer and documentarian who created a movie called "Albatross." Jordan's comments come as part of a conversation he had with Jennifer Geist.

Over the course of eight trips to Midway Island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, Jordan used his cameras to document the albatross birds that nest there and their plight as the result of massive plastic pollution in the ocean.

Martinez and co-hosts Ken Harvey and Jim Hills also discuss Jordan's film and why he was invited to speak at the 2019 Trudy Sundberg Lecture Series events that take place May 3-4 on Whidbey Island. The series is supported by the Sno-Isle Libraries Foundation.

The 2019 Trudy Sundberg Lecture Series events:

Friday, May 3, 2019, 7 p.m. Whidbey Island Center for the Arts 565 Camano Avenue, Langley

Saturday, May 4, 2019, 7 p.m. Coupeville High School Performing Arts Center 501 South Main Street, Coupeville
