As we turn our heroine’s spotlight on Maya Angelou (who took “blissful stickiness” to a whole new level), we also reveal how the picnic moved outdoors, and how the French came to be involved in a baguette-big way.Shownotes:
You know what’s sticky? Barbeque sauce, that’s what. But very nice for picnics.
Today, we use Emma as a picnicking cautionary tale and fly over to Maya Angelou, who wrote the most glorious sentence of all time about barbeque sauce. We discuss her masterwork, I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings, and gush about her writing. Finally, we recommend marvel-ous ways to add some lumens (units of light) to your next picnic.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
