Summary

Hi there, Rita couldn’t join us this time around because she’s been super busy with volunteer work and this is the high-season for the Berwyn Historical Society and their annual Bungalow tour. That takes place September 27. You should go! Okay, I admit I’m a walking snob. I walk fast and I want everyone to get the hell out of my way. But I’m polite about it! I share a walking in Chicago story. I’ve promised (threatened) to do this before and this time I finally come around to fulfilling my promise. In this episode, I read a handful of letters from The Randy Scuffle Papers. Randy basically lives in his mother’s backyard, and he is an artist whose main material is meat. He loves hot dogs. He invents things. he has plans to save the world. Randy is a nut. Well, no, not really, if you read the book you’ll see why. I hope you enjoy these samples. Let me know what you think! Don’t forget, if you have any comments, send them to us at comments at PrehensileAndGretel.com. You can also reach me by writing to phil at philreebius.com which, by the way, is also a blog I try to keep up with and promise myself I will be more consistent about in the future. When does the future start? -Phil (and Rita) Reebius

    Release Date: 09/18/2020

    Authors: Curtis Cates, MD

    Description: Hansel and Gretel may seem like a simple fairy tale, but the real meaning hidden between its lines has nothing to do with any simplistic "moral of the story"...like a real-life Da Vinci Code — Hansel and Gretel is a literary and cultural treasure map filled with secret clues meant only for people like us to follow...clues that will lead us to a meaningful, real-life treasure that's been lost for over 200 years...along the way, we'll discover that the real villains of the story are still with us, and they're not only people you've only heard of — some of them are people you actually know...this is the podcast for people who love fairytales, and who'd love to find out what they really mean...in the Hansel and Gretel Code, we'll be reading from the 1810 manuscript version of the story and we'll be examining the many, multi-faceted clues that are packed into each of its 42 sentences...each of those clues will not only entertain the hell out of you, they're going to change the way you

    It's Grimm!

    Release Date: 09/08/2020

    Authors: Ha-Hum-Ah Theatre

    Description: You've heard the stories, but have you heard the right ones? Through the mystical portal, there lies a strange musical land; inhabited by even stranger people; furthermore there are people that aren’t even people; tap-dancing cats, sentient sausages and magical fish. But it’s not all fun and games, not for Gretel and Hansel anyway. Captured by a hideously unstable Witch, who is hell bent on fattening Hansel up to eat him. Now it’s up to Gretel to find and travel the perilous path to Town; negotiating all those who may seek to take advantage of an innocent wandering child along the way. Who will help her? The world weary Fisherman? The brave little tailor? Maybe even you?With original music and a rich sound bed, heartily seasoned with comedy inspired by Blackadder, Shrek and sweet isolation madness; let’s face it: you’ve nothing better to do. Plug in and enter the woods if you dare and help Gretel as one bonkers story crashes into the next. In response to the Covid-19 pandemic, Ha-Hum
