The origin story of “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland”, the story people tend to hear, about Lewis Carroll and Alice Liddell rowing up the river while in improvises a story to entertain her is only half the story. Like past supplemental episodes, it’s a story I want to tell, but it just wanders too far away from the purpose of the main episode, so it is now a supplemental episode, that may lend you some extra insight, when the main episode drops.

    Loved it, have been looking forward to your next episode for a while.

    I just happened to start reading Alice in Wonderland this week, so you podcast was great. I seem to be only to read one chapter at a time, not really a progression or overall theme except for silliness, granted I just finished the Mock Turtle’s story, but there does not seem to be point to the whole thing.

    Still I love your podcast, keep up the great work and congrats on the new addition to your family.

    I have a podcast of my own, Scouts Out (currently having trouble with Itunes after 10 episodes) but it is on my blog as well every Saturday.
