Hello all! On this episode Max is going to tell us a classic story about a witch, some guts, and some crustaceans (and she's finally going to ansWer the age-old question-- what's in a name?) And Janey is going to make us all fall in love with an evil enchanter. (Mark our words, you'll be smitten.) 

Max’s Sources - The Name

• “The Magic Orange Tree: And Other Haitian Folktales” collected by Diane Wolkstein 
• Google Books selection from "The Caribbean Story Finder" by Sharon Barcan Elswit, comparing different Caribbean versions of "The Name" 
• Malaika Ryan reads “Madam Crab Loses her Head,” a Trinidadian version of the tale 

Janey’s Sources - Prince Narcissus and the Princess Potentilla

• Andrew Lang’s “The Green Fairy Book” 
• Free text 
• Illustration by Henry Justice Ford 

BONUS: Here's a badass interview with romance novelist Nora Roberts 

And thank you, Keith. Just.... thank you. Thank you for what you do, and, perhaps more importantly... thank you for what you do not do.
