English poet, Elizabeth Barrett Browning was born in 1806 and is believed to have written her first poem at the young age of 6. Unlike many classic poets, Barrett Browning was quite well respected and her works were well received during her lifetime. Among the admirers of her work were Emily Dickinson and Edgar Allen Poe; the latter even dedicated a volume of his poems to her in 1845. Perhaps most known for her sonnets and especially the very famous piece, "How Do I Love Thee?", Barrett Browning was a very prolific poet. "The Best Thing in the World" was included in the volume entitled The Complete Poetical Works of Mrs. Browning and was published as a short, 12-line piece of verse. Although there are many sources online which have a version which omits two lines, we have chosen to produce the full poem.

We chat about The Haunted Room from Lamplighter Theatre in this episode. We all enjoyed this production, but there were some significant differences of opinion between us on some aspects of it which result in a fist fight that you get to hear (the last part is entirely untrue). We also address feedback from Austin Peachey as well as some feedback via iTunes reviews. There are also a few audio drama tidbits; including What We're Listening To. Happy New Year!

Family Time Audio Theatre released their first audio drama in October 2016, Jimmy and the Star Angel, a fun, endearing Christmas story that you're sure to enjoy. We review this wonderful audio drama in this episode, respond to an Odyssey-related question from Sarah Grace and chat about a new audio stories website we recently discovered. Roy also has a newscast and we finally announce that The Cross Maker is finished!

Producer's Note: Unfortunately we had a bit of an issue with the audio in this episode. We cleaned it up the best we could and we hope you will still enjoy the show. Also, JD misspoke when he mentioned the duration of Jimmy and the Star Angel. It is actually 1:48:29.

"The Eagle" was first published in 1851, shortly after Tennyson was appointed as Poet Laureate of Britain in 1850; a position he held until his death in 1892. In spite of its short length, "The Eagle" still contains a lot of meaning. It is packed with beautiful imagery and the iambic tetrameter Tennyson employs allows the words to flow off the tongue in an easy rhythm. It is simply a delightful piece to read and contemplate.
