Hello, super great grown-ups. This episode is sponsored by Indeed. If we needed a new storyteller, I'd go to Indeed and be very specific. I'd say, I want a storyteller from East Asia who has good English and two years experience telling traditional tales in schools. And with Indeed's sponsored jobs, I'd get several people who fit that

description. So I wouldn't be sifting through CVs of people who've acted in adverts and recorded

their own audiobook. No, I'd get the real deal like Toop or Kate Corcori. Plus, with indeed

sponsored jobs, you only pay for results, no monthly subscriptions, just support

whenever you need to find good people fast. Listeners of this show will get a £100 sponsored

job credit to help get your job the attention it deserves. Just go toindeed.com slash super great right now and support our show by saying

the other side of the hill. Now the Trumpman, he would make a living walking the roads of Scotland,
