Hi there, this is Maria Kalincini and welcome to goop tales.

So today's episode is not going to be an actual goop tale.

Those will come back next week, but today I'm taking a little break.

It's the holidays, and I thought it would be a really

good time to go over a couple things that you may not know about Gook Tales that will help

you get a lot more enjoyment and benefit out of it. So let's get started. So I want to start with the photos. So if you've been

listening to GoopTales for a while now, I'm hoping that you go to visit goptails.com and go to the

actual story page for each tale. Because on that page are the photos that go along with the actual story.

And the photos are mostly, not always, sometimes, you know, the goop tales are a mix of fantasy and fiction.

And sometimes I do use some fantasy photos, but most of the time, those are photos

of real places around the world, which are just amazing and smashingly beautiful and

definitely worth taking a look at. And to make the photos just a little more interesting,

I have hidden the tiny goop

that goes with the particular story inside of each photo. So you've got to go find the gop.

And some of them are hidden. They're really hard to find, really hard to find, because they're so

transparent.

But if you look hard enough, you will find the goop.

Sometimes it's good for it to be hard because it's fun to have a little challenge like that.

So that's the first thing I wanted to point out was definitely take a look at the photos as you listen to the stories.

And I know a lot of people listen to GoopTales from the website.

And for those of you who don't listen to podcasts as much,

I definitely encourage you to use the podcast app on either your,
