    Wrong Number

    We got the weirdest phone message from out of nowhere. I thought the voice on the other end was having a stroke, then all of a sudden the operator chimes in. Any explanations are welcome!

    Mouse trap

    A classic story of rodent vs human. Except in this case, it wasn't just any mouse. It was our mouse. A tiny one that we had rescued from a snowstorm and brought home to take care of. It had a name and everything. But mice will be mice. Ours escaped, and this is the story of how we caught it and bid it adieu. Music is Samson by Regina Spektor, and a Count Basie song from YouTube.

    Tom Bomdadil of Georgia

    We're caught wearing shorts in tick-infested woods. But that's because when packing for our trip to Georgia, we had no idea we would be going hiking out there. Nor did we know we would be meeting Marcus, aka Tom Bombadil, who lives in an old wooden house dating from 1870 and who loves to eat wild mushrooms. Listen to us city boys follow him into darkness. Music in this piece is Anitra's Dance by Edvard Grieg, and Tom Bombadil's Song by the Tolkien Ensemble.

And it's not fire hydrants. The outro for this piece by Lindsay Starke, who handily won last month's podcast challenge. Music is Le Banjo by Louis Moreau Gottschalk, performed by BachScholar.
