Stories from Eureka

Dear Pennies & Pallers,
 
For our first letter this week, we discuss a listener's favorite obscure words, and play a little guessing game.
 
Then in our second letter, we discuss the plight of a listener's mother, who is an erotica e-book author, and implications for art in the age of the internet.
 
Plus, we talk about the beach, St. Patrick's Day, and a whole lot more!
 
Sincerely,
 
Your Pen Pals Daniel & Rory
