234: Struwwelpeter

We recorded this episode on the day Dr. Christine Blasey-Ford gave her testimony to the Senate committee. The terrible story of the woman who disappeared from a Disney cruise ship. Children's books in 19th century Germany were terrifying. Richard Scarry's books are fun if you like cannibalistic animals.
