"Guinivere Tries a New Kind of In-Vitro" is one of those stories that is better when you don't try to describe it, so I'm going to let it speak for itself. It is by Dina Greenberg, copyright 2016, used with permission. I just saw a play in which they go a little bit into the legend of Cerridwen, mentioned in the story. If you don't know the reference, it is a wonderful tale of Welsh mythology and you should read more about it. Also, visit Dina's website.
Ever wonder who decided which books get read and what becomes canon? It was decided in the "Blood Feud: Melville vs. Hawthorne." By James Bezerra, copyright 2015, used with permission. Visit James's website.
Today's show closes with the reading of an important historical document, inspired by my friend tweeting government documents to the President Elect. Check out her Twitter feed.

For today's short story, I share the folk tale "The Tailor" or "Just Enough," a Jewish folk tale of Russian origin. The version I share is my own adaptation of the story.
We will see you January 20, if not sooner, with a brand-new episode.
