#12: Caurus

The Cru have an in-depth discussion on creating empathy for characters who do awful things, like fathers who abandon their children.  Krispy adds some levity with an anthropomorphized Wind, equal parts trickster and temper-tantrumy toddler.   And, to make it a true grab-bag type episode, there are farts. From Brewers Dictionary of Phrase and Fable: Caurus. The Latin name for the northwest wind: The ground by piercing Caurus seared. ~James Thomson Banter starts at 1:37; WebEater@ 21:03; The Lotus@ 44:55; Krispy@ 51:48; Murph@ 1:05:57Like this weeks episode and wish you could read as well as listen?
