  • Episode 114: A Brief Downstairs Kiss

    We're all going to stumble through trying to pronounce some Welsh names as we read the second branch of the "Mabinogion" this week. A lot of it is focused on how you could skin a line of horses without being stopped, so if you have any input, send it on over.

    Suggested talking points: Flensing a horse, putters and leavers, why horses live in pairs, hype men for babies, a wooden power suit full of small angry men, the stickiest marrow, Haltable Loki, blazing the cauldron, the Ballad of Stacey's Mom, the discovery of fight or flight
