The Folium Diary
The Folium Diary begins as the playful audio journal of Cherie Hazzard, a brilliant, elusive young woman documenting her “internship” with a mysterious project called the Folium. Through books, banter, flirtation, philosophy, and small-town drama, Cherie gradually reveals that the diary itself is part of a larger performance: an attempt to introduce a long-term social vision rooted in ecological wisdom, affectionate anarchy, and the nurturing of better humans. As the story unfolds, family secrets, doppelgängers, hidden rooms, and shifting narrators widen the world. By the end of season one, the Folium emerges as both idea and experiment: a strange, loving nudge toward a better civilization.

Yes, I am a teddy bear mom! I had a picnic for my furry family last week. I don't have favorites (don't want to hurt the feelings of my other stuffies), but if I did, it would have to be Daisy and Belle - a momma bear and baby bear set. More pics!
There is a flower within my heart

I forgot to say Juan's full name is Juan Julian! His friends in Progreso call him Juan, but in Cherán they called him Julian, so that's what I did here, but forgot to explain. Smoke, why didn't you catch this before I posted it? Smoke: < because you said I had a big head! > 😼 Such a lovely cat 😽
Juan's parents are Anna and Jorge. Anna is Hector and Henry's younger sister. Henry said he ...
Smoke 😺 Signal: A Daisy Drop Special
I was in the kitchen reading this article to Linda when Smoke jumped in my lap and made it known in no uncertain terms that she wanted to narrate this as a podcast episode. Smoke has been itching to get back in the show ever since Cher made her a co-host last December (either that or it's fleas 🙀). We worked on her voice for hours until she was satisfied - such a diva. Smoke thinks what humans ...

...CONTINUED FROM LAST EPISODE
Cherie said the key to the lost room is where I would be sure to "step on it". At her birthday party, in the same parlor I was sitting in while reading Mr. Davies letter, I made the mistake of confessing I had left the LEGO piece on the floor that she stepped on weeks before. Mr. Davies had bought a LEGO set of the X-Men Mansion because he thought it looked like the Lodge. He put it together himself an...
WELCOME TO DAISY DROPS!
Written, recorded (on a zoom call with Mom), and edited by Daisy - that's me! Yes, there may be a little room for improvement - I'm getting a better mic and practicing vocally vexatious tongue twisters every day. The next episode in February should have a nice glow-up. Tune-in and see!
Ps. Here is the 'boring' material I left out of the show (that's reverse psychology...but if I tell you that, does it reverse ...
All the world’s a stage
And all the men and women merely players
They have their exits and their entrances
And one man in his time plays many parts
His acts being seven ages...

The Folium CEO would like to remind listeners they can submit questions about the Folium this week via Fan Mail, whether you are entering the contest or not. We will try to answer as many as we can on Sunday the 11th.
Our CEO does seem to have gone on at some length regarding the history of the organization and other sensitive matters. As Ms. Hazzard is the only one with the authority to override the CEO's actions, and she was...

Hello. We hope you are enjoying the contest. We received a correct answer that did not include an email address, so we have no way to contact that person.
Folium Fan Mail is only one-way – we can't text you back. That's probably a good thing, as Quel was ready to disqualify them with a message that can politely be described as, 'lacerating'. Ares managed to placate her by promising her the World's Largest Rubik's cube, a c...
