We're reintroducing an additional storytelling form here at the podcast. This story was one I told in 2011 when I had a podcast for about a year. This story launched that effort and was the opening chapter in the book of stories, Spill Your Guts' Guts.

The story is of my quest to secure the love of a young girl named Jane. She was, shall we say, reluctant.

We could see more stories like this in the future. If you have an idea of your own you'd like to see posted here, let us know. We'll talk.

The music is from the Pogues and Kirsty MacColl, a Christmas song called Fairytale of New York.

Thank you for listening. We look forward to hearing your story.
