With the 2021 Olympics now less than 100 days away (and facing a lot of questions along the way), both NBC and Telemundo have started to roll out some details on their coverage plans. One different platform for NBC’s coverage this year is NBCUniversal streaming service Peacock, and while the full details on what Olympic content will be available on Peacock aren’t yet spelled out, we do know of a couple of docuseries heading to the platform.
Back in February, Deadline broke the news of a three-part Michael Phelps docuseries coming to Peacock, with that series featuring Phelps, Rowdy Gaines and Dan Hicks looking back at Phelps’ career and rewatching some of his most famous races. And now, on Monday, Peacock announced an upcoming six-part docuseries

Canada Geese are starting to become a problem in some of Moncton’s parks and are creating conflicts with trail users.
Jones Lake and Centennial Park are two popular gathering spots for geese.
Moncton Parks Department operations director Dan Hicks says Canada Geese are most active in the spring when nesting and trying to raise their young.
Hicks says one of the measures the city is using to discourage the geese is fencing which will block areas where they would have ready access to water.
“Another method involves the use of low-powered lights that flash at night. This makes it difficult for the geese to get a good night’s sleep.”
The story of the Benin bronzes is one Timothy Awoyemi, a British-Nigerian police officer, knows well.
Like all schoolchildren in Nigeria, he was taught of the murderous 1897 raid when British soldiers plundered Benin City, stealing a priceless array of metal sculptures.
So, unlike his United Kingdom-educated colleague Steve Dunstone, Awoyemi was not entirely puzzled by the scribbled note thrust suddenly into their hands: “Please help return the Benin bronzes.”
It was 2004 and the pair were on a police outreach expedition, delivering books and supplies to communities along the Niger River.
Having received a hearty welcome in the small town of Agenebode, Awoyemi and Dunstone were about to depart, when a man pushed forward with the piece of paper.
