    A New Year's Story by Lucy Maud Montgomery... and an Important Introduction by Mandy

    It's the New Year of 2026!  Let us embrace empathy, learning and benevolent mindsets more than ever. It's always up to us to ensure that the light of human understanding and intellectualism does not die out during dark ages.  Peace be with us all! Music from Fesliyan Studios and Podcastle. The introductory poem is an excerpt from "The Death of the Old Year", by Alfred Lord Tennyson.  The short story, "Uncle Richard's New Year Dinner," is by Lucy Maud Montgomery. Opening anti-ICE, anti-regime rant courtesy of the author.

Deep within the fetid waters of the Nor' Loch, successive generations of Scots would eventually find the material evidence for these atrocities.  Music from Fesliyan Studios www.historyobscurapodcast.com
