Summary

We tell the story of Abbé Fouré, the hermit-priest of Rotheneuf, France. After a stroke forced him into retirement, Abbé Fouré moved to a hermitage on the Brittany coast. Over the next 14 years, he carved more than 300 sculptures into the rocks on the cliffs of Rotheneuf.

0:00.0	You
0:30.0	Welcome to Strange Familiars. How are you doing tonight, Allison?
0:56.3	I'm doing okay. I'm very pleased. The temperature only had a tiny blip up into the 90s.
1:02.6	And now we're back to the perfect weather of late May, which is my favorite time of year.
1:07.5	Yeah, that heat wave put me in a foul mood over the weekend. It's like
1:13.9	you could actually tell the minute it got to whatever arbitrary number it is that makes you an
1:18.5	angry person. And you're not normally an angry person, but you became an angry person at whatever
1:23.0	heat level that was. We know like Chad and I pretty much have a standing date on Saturday nights.
1:29.1	We go looking for spooky stuff to the sock hop and then out for shakes and malts and stuff.
1:34.4	Whatever you do. He texted me Saturday during the day. And he's like, what are you doing tonight?
1:39.8	And I was sorry. Being grumpy. Yeah, sorry, Chad. I ate very grumpy. He texted back nothing.

2:06.5	Now it's winter, honestly. Really? Maybe because a global warming winter is more like fall used to be.
2:12.0	I love winter. I love it. I know you don't like it. It's like kind of one of our things where we
2:17.6	part ways in it in a major. It's not that I like summer. It's that I like sun. And not that I like
2:22.4	to sit outside with like foil in front of my face. But I do need it for my own sanity sake.
2:28.8	Yeah. And it's well, it's not that I like snow. It's that I dislike heat.
2:32.4	Yeah. So heat is really, really bad for MS. Where is it just perfectly like 70 degrees all
