This one is a thinker for the election season. Everyone counts but not treated equally. Is it ok for a leader and/or lion to determine that you aren't good enough to listen to when complaining? Aesop taught a lot of lessons and this one seems to teach intolerance of those you find lesser than yourself.  Find Aesop's Fables before they are deconstructed on Facebook. There is also a project on HITRECORD where you can write your own fable, provide artwork, and music to bring these stories into modern times. Hopefully, the new ones contain less murder. --- Support this podcast: https://podc ..read more

Episode 8.5 includes a bonus fable and a great tune. The last episode involved a lying bat in The Bat and the Weasels and The Bird the Beasts and the Bats give you some insight into the bat family. As a special bonus you get to hear one of my favorite tunes. Anchor.fm along with Spotify Premium allow me to add music as long as the podcast is not monetized. I’d rather share music than make a penny so here is Unconventional Wisdom by Built to Spill.
