Hosts Heather Michele Lawler and Ken Sandberg do their best to read the shorts stories, books, and other works of classic authors of yesteryear.  For better or worse, these works are often filled with unfamiliar language, archaic sentence structure, and words that have become innuendos in the years since their original printing.  Listener Shoutout: Dallas, Texas  Picture Credit: "Kachkar close-up, Echmiadzin Cathedral, Armenia" by Dumphasizer is licensed under CC BY 2.0
