    For Lucy

    Carlos Kotkin was last heard on UnFictional telling twin prom stories. In this episode, Carlos tells the story of the five hens that were his childhood companions. Among them was the mighty grey chicken, who was more than a friend, she was a role model.

    Cat Lady

    Shaz Bennett has a lot of thoughts about the most awesomest cat in the world, 70's television, spontaneous lactation and All about Eve. All of this is important to understand the difference between cat love and dog love.
