Hello, I'm David Kern.

I'm Heidi White.

And I'm Tim McIntosh.

And every time we do this, you look surprised that it's your turn to speak.

Both of you.

It's just every time you do this, it looks like you're both like, oh, what's my name?

I gotta say something.

It's very-

That just makes me laugh every time.

I just think it's funny because I say, we do this every

week. I know. Sometimes more than once. For the record, I'm not surprised. Well, I know. It's not that you

once it's people hear it, they're probably not hearing the surprise, but there's this moment where you're like,

oh, I've got to say something. That's what it looks like on your faces.

And then your brain's quickly go like... And the easiest possible thing to say is your name.

And we can't even handle that. Right, right. You can't do it. But anyway, you're listening to a podcast for the inkjurl reader. It's called Close Reeds. You know that by now. We're here to discuss Walter Wangeren's book, the book of the Duncow.

And we're going to talk about part two. And then that means next to we're going to

talk about part three. And then we're going to talk about part four. And then we're going to

move on to an Ernest Gaines book, gathering of old men. Yeah, it's With the medieval cosmology. That's right. That's right. It's a nice segue.

Before we get going, what else is going on?

Y'all's, like, let's talk about the place to thing, for example.

Tim, where are we in the place to thing?

What should people go look for and listen to?
