A lighthearted look at Aesop’s fables and what they mean in today’s world. As a social experiment, I started narrating fables using a Facebook page and Youtube channel to share. This venture has since turned into a multifaceted project and this podcast breaks down the stories.

    There is so much to say about liberty, especially days before a monumental election. There is a wolf and there is a dog each with conflicting ideals.  Nobody gets hurt in this one but there sure is some shaming. here are a lot of versions of this fable.

    This one is a thinker for the election season. Everyone counts but not treated equally. Is it ok for a leader and/or lion to determine that you aren't good enough to listen to when complaining?
