#61: The Cru Write Morrison: Shrovetide

The Cru do their best attempt to imitate the American author Toni Morrison, discussing her work before reading our stories written in her style.  We also launch a new segment for you whisky lovers: The Writer's Dram.  We are drinking Glenmorangie's "The Nectar D'or," and it is quite delicious.  Stories this evening feature a visit paid to a maid (head over to the website to read this one; it wouldn't be an episode about Morrison without a wee bit of censorship); a daughter and mother, mother and daughter; a pastor at a bikini bar; an asteroid approaching earth; and a reflective father. Tonight's episode is sponsored by Speakeasy Leather.  Please do check them out!  From Brewer's Dictionary of Phrase and Fable: Shrovetide. The three days just before the beginning of LENT, when people went to confession and afterwards indulged in all sorts of sports and merrymaking. Stories begin around the 24:45 mark.Like this weeks episode and wish you could read as well as listen?
