Season 1, Episode 4: Frederico the Frog Faces Mortality: How Talking Animals Help Us Make Sense of LifeIn this week’s episode, I share my longest story yet—a 755-word flash fiction piece about a talkative frog, his animal companions, and the unexpected truth about his home. Then, we dive into anthropomorphized animals in fiction. Finally, I discuss the real-life setting that inspired this story: a beautiful pond in a place called Mount Auburn—teeming with wildlife and history.Want more fiction, folklore, and fiber arts in your life?→ See the notebook that inspired Frederico the Frog.→ Visit my publications page to find my longer-form fiction. → Follow me on Instagram for behind-the-scenes content. → Sign up for my newsletter to get exclusive updates and stories straight to your inbox. → Support me on ko-fi.
