Sleepy Stories

The Princess and Curdie, Chapter 5 - "The Miners"


Listen Later

We got an incredibly energetic Lydia for this descent into MacDonald's mines. She was so energetic that I had to cut some audio where one of the many stuffies that visited us while we were recording ended up dancing on my microphone and I had to cut a little audio. I hope it wasn't too awkward.

Also, sorry that I didn't put anything out for a couple weeks. I'm adjusting to my job, and just now finding time and energy again.

While MacDonald's discussions about faith, theology, and magic sometimes bug me I kinda like this one. I like how he balances the miners' faith in dowsing rods and witches against their adamant disbelief in anything angelic.

Leave us a message if you're having fun.
