Episode 13: Soup From a Sausage Skewer
(1183 downloads)Download this episode (60 min)
Hans Christian Andersen's "Soup From a Sausage Skewer", in all its glory. Erin apologizes for errata, and establishes her kid policy, which she plans never to discuss again, but must be set down in order to go on. Erin had to get hugs from her mom after recording this episode, but that's okay - it's worth it.
Erin apologizes for the insane delay, but she may at last have conquered the Evil Audacity God of Preferences and Resampling - uh, code for, Erin's, like, a total doofus. Anyway. We might even be able to go to fortnightly episodes! Wouldn't that just totally rock? As Miss Piggy would say, "Oh, I'm so happy for me!"

it was a great story, although I'm baffled as to why the king mouse chose the mouse who burnt his tail (is it a euphemism,?? hmm?) because the mouse who found the truth was the one for me!
I second the mouse of truth as a good choice. :) This was the first podcast of yours that I listened to, and I really enjoyed it. I think you handled the question of the boy goats really well. These are incredibly hard decisions to make, and I think it's very easy for someone who isn't in your position to judge unfairly. It's hard to know what any one of us would decide when faced with the realities of a goat farm. People are going to eat animals, and as long as that is the case, I am with you. I would much rather know that a white-tailed deer was shot in mid-flight quickly or that a goat was slaughtered humanely by an individual than to have the system of mass slaughter that provides us with most of our meat. I also want to say that one of the kindest, gentlest people I've met was a man in Iowa who did the lamb slaughtering in the community every spring. He told me that he would meditate beforehand and give thanks for the meat that the lambs provided. It's a much kinder way of doing things. Anyway, it is obvious that the choice was a painful one for you and that you put a lot of thought and care into both the process and the explanation. I have a lot of respect for that.
