We’re back!

Sorry it took so long, but y’know… life.

Anyway, because we had a long break, we’re considering this as the start of season 3 of Stories of Strangeness, and to start things off with a bang, we’re doing an extra large episode consisting of a normal episode from Zoe, and an included minisode from Mike.

In this episode, Zoe tells us about Gef, the talking mongoose, and Mike talks about Universe 25, the mouse utopia. So a bit of a rodent-y episode.

We also talk about bad ventriloquists, the American cheese caves and European butter mountain, and how people tied things together before the invention of string.

Here’s a rundown of the episode:

00:28 – Hello!

03:25 – Presented Piece – Gef the talking mongoose

17:41 – Discussion

36:33 – 2nd Presented Piece – Universe 25

45:12 – Discussion

57:47 – Where You Can Find Us Online

1:02:46 – Bye

Total Runtime: 1:03:39
