Show notes

We're switching it up on you this week, and breaking one of our cardinal rules: we're bringing you a choice platter of Aesop's Fables, and we're determined to mine all of the wisdom they have in them. And some wisdom that isn't in them.

Suggested talking points: an existential crisis, egg lessons, beach dogs, underground birds , bird lecture series, clapfish, fish reclassification, ocean turf battle, whale propaganda, Spongebob brass knuckles, hyper-specific morales, the body assembly line

Episode 127: A Certain Grimminess Jun 27, 2017
