1.5—Raisins and Almonds

Hurray! We’re happy to be back to (slightly) happier times with “Raisins and Almonds.” Join us as we talk about kitchen items useful for writing secret messages, the importance of pockets in our clothing, the enigmatic Miss Lee, and Jack’s revelation about his private life. And learn what the heck a Turnaround Alice is!
