Oops! I totally forgot to tell you, when I've done this in the past I left the premium episode alone and re-uploaded it to be SNEAK PEEK —free for you: MOBY DICK! Ep. 679: Cranford | Chapter 1 Book talk begins at 16:10. We're diving into a brand-new book, and this one's got all the charm, wit, and genteel gossip you could ask for! The reigning queen of propriety, Miss Deborah Jenkyns, has thoughts about everything—from how to properly serve dinner to why men are mostly unnecessary. But when a certain Captain Brown dares to disrupt the delicate social balance, will Cranford's ladies be able to keep their composure? --------------------------------------------------------------- • 03:20 - Actually, we announced the raffle on 4/4/25.
