We interrupt your regularly scheduled programming for a bonus LIVE episode, recorded with a group of friends to celebrate the anniversary of the podcast. Today's stories are from "Medieval Tales and Stories" a collection edited and translated by Stanley Appelbaum. The first, from the 14th century Italian collection Il Trecentonovelle, features a man whose glorious dreams were followed the next morning by an odiferous reality. The second, from Disciplina Clericalis, an 11th century Spanish collection of stories from Arabic sources, has a clever peasant out-tricking his travelling companions. In the third, from a 14th century Spanish collection named El Conde Lucanor, demonstrates the folly of listening to everyone's advice without judging for yourself.

Many thanks to my live audience and co-complainers, Amanda Martel, Elena Vesare, Jadwiga z Katowic, Isabel Claworth, Aymer de Manvers, Felicia ad Aquam, Daniel de la Guerre, and Olivia.
