Ritualistic

Some like to watch, some like to listen. Of the two I find the storytelling  magic of listening a bit more powerfull, even more so when you can hear the story grow over time.

So fire up your media player of choice and  listen to  this

And then if you like Jean Shepherd and want to get a little bit of him a few times every week subscribe to  http://feeds.feedburner.com/Shep-a-day  where I have set up an automated podcast feed of Shep radio broadcast  that happened on that day.
