Putting on Eyres

This week the gals talk about a fan-suggested short story by Leo Tolstoy — “How Much Land Does a Man Need”. The final line in the story is *chef's kiss* Fast forward to timestamp 19'51” to skip a story of how Wren's feline ward gave her a heart attack last week and listen for yourself as to why she's not invited back for future recordings.

This week we see the power of parenthood in every way possible from the carefree spirited mother to the overprotective-type-A mother and everything in between. Wren and Jo delve into the meat of the question: "What makes a parent?" Is it biology alone? Is it love? Is it the ability to see past the lines of race and privilege to give said child the best life possible? What are the consequences to all of those answers?

Have you ever been aggravated by the adaptation having been given TOO MUCH creative liberty? US TOO! Wren and Jo take you on an adventure to the North Texas Teen Book Festival hosted by the Irving Public Library in this bonus episode. Tune in and listen to three low-key YA authors talk about their experiences collaborating on a book-turned-Netflix movie, learn that people from Pittsburgh apparently don't have feelings (and that's okay), and find out why "Hollywood is a bad boyfriend." A special thank you goes out to Mandy Aguilar of the Irving Public Library. You did an amazing job moderating the "Let It Snow" panel and, as one of the panelists said, "you're doing the Lord's work as a librarian." You're the superhero we don't deserve, but the one that we need. Enough "thank you's" cannot be extended to the authors who dedicate their time, imagination, and energy into creating the stories we are able to enjoy and discuss: Maureen Johnson, Lauren Myracle, and John Green. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/putting-on-eyres-podcast/support

Buckle up kids, we're going on a road trip! This week we follow Milo, Tock, and the Humbug (UGH, this guy) on their journey through the Lands Beyond. Predictably, Wren and Jo LOVE Dictionopolis and have some THINGS TO SAY about Digitopolis. Shake yourself up a Tom Collins, prepare for some AGONIZING puns, and enjoy. Cheers, dears!

Do you have an irrational fear of being buried alive? What about the government taking over your emotions to control you for the "good of the people"? Do you make it a habit to dehumanize your enemies so you can be more at peace with exacting your revenge? Do you believe that equality across the board can be accomplished if you force a handicap on someone born outside the "norm"? Join Wren & Jo this week as they each present a short story of their choosing along with a very vanilla, albeit celebratory, featured drink.
