    The Wonderful Wizard of Oz audiobook!

    The Wonderful Wizard of Oz audiobook!

    Guess what? We made an audiobook for you. Something about telling the tales of George Michael and Britney Spears made me think about this tale of another kid in the big city. I loved recording an audiobook of A Christmas Carol for you last December, and this was a delight as well. This book is at least 25 times stranger than I remembered, and in the best way. Fandom theories and queer theory reads are very welcome below.

Awesome

Michael is a superstar ! What an understanding he has of the human condition . he took the obesity episode seriously while his co journalist chuckled her way throughout . Maybe she can’t relate ?!
Michael is great . Thank you for touching on this subject . I’d love to have a friend like him . What an empath !

Vocal fry 🤮

“I feel like…” at the beginning of so many sentences and the completely annoying voices of these people are so off-putting that I just can’t listen to this tripe. Please learn to speak like adults if you want to be taken seriously.

I love this show but not the latest episode.

I love this show usually, I subscribe on Patreon even, but the episode about phones was so off… there is a huge difference between phone/screen usage by someone with a fully developed brain vs a child. I have personally seen the effect of screens on small children, and I know it’s not good.
