Episode 6: Kitties and fangirling

I’m not going to do detailed show notes this week, since you can find links to my WIPs in previous posts.

Here are a couple of YouTube videos of Dar Williams performances. One is an “official” video and the other is one of my favorite songs of hers, “The Christians and the Pagans.” Enjoy!
