Reading Envy 054: Retired Pirates

Jenny is joined by Jason, a welcome repeat guest who comes on the podcast before and after the long gardening season. Jenny's two dogs are also in the background in the first half, gnawing on some bones. They meander downstairs by the end. Join us in the pub where we discuss pirates, dragons, sparse prose, and marriage.
