Today's featured storyteller, Wendy Smith, a.k.a. Wendyceratops, is a Professor of English at Mesa Community College in San Diego. See her students' ratemyprofessors.com reviews to get a sense of just how amazing she is:

"Never boring."

"Fair. For the most part."

"Really chill."

"Always has snacks."

"A believer."

"Passionate."

"Open to different interpretations."

And:

"A must"

Buuuut:

She is “provincial”

And:

"She does have her favorites and I was not one of them but that should not matter unless you want to go out for a beer with the prof."

Wendy's story was recorded live on 8 September 2015 at Tiger!Tiger! Tavern in San Diego, California. The theme of the evening was "Firsts." Our theme music is by our friend Whalehawk (aka the Grammy-nominated musician Jake Sanders).
