Summary

E.B. White's Charlotte's Web is a beloved classic for plenty of reasons. It's got bloodthirsty spiders, hungry hungry rats, and some terrific, radiant, humble pig named Wilbur. But somehow Craig hadn't read it until THIS WEEK.

Other talking points include: otter tacos, animal sentience, and the saddest feelings anyone's ever felt about a spider.
