  • Episode 16: Hawaiian Spirit Jersey Shore
    Hawaii: home to beautiful beaches, gorgeous scenery, sunshine, and a volcano goddess who will melt your face off for looking at her man the wrong way. It's the new hit reality TV show "Hawaiian Spirit Jersey Shore," where everyone is mad at each other, but also they know magic. We read "the Fire Goddess," a tale about Pele. But not that Pele. The other Pele.

  • Episode 15: Sauron's Practice Ring
    Sometimes, a fairy tale makes a nice, concise point with an elegantly told narrative that utilizes some clear and transparent themes. And sometimes you get fairy tales that need a whole side plot about an island of mice and turning a boatful of people into lepers to make a point that was never necessary. Guess which kind this week's story "The Bronze Ring" is.
