135. Bewildered and Honking (and nonstop harkin’ eggs)

Hello and welcome BACK! We're jumping in after a month-long break to tell you two insane tales of heroism! This week, Janey is retelling Hans Christian Andersen's "The Wild Geese", and Max is going to tell us about a terrible wife who just can't seem to stop harkin' down eggs (this isn't canon but we like to use our imaginations...)

In other news! We will be changing our release schedule to every other week, instead of every week. This means you'll get two regular episodes a month, plus a monthly bonus episode if you're on our Patreon at the $7 level. Thanks to everyone who already heard the news on our July bonus episode and sent us love over the Discord!
