You are listening to a Clarksrolled magazine podcast. I'm your host and narrator,

Kate Baker. Greetings Clarksrolled Citizens. I hope this podcast finds you well.

It's our second story, issue 199, for April 2023. As always, whether this is your

first story or over 750 at this point, we want to thank you for coming by and

lending your support. If you'd like to contribute monetarily, you may do so by

going to patreon.com for slash ClarksWorld. We're going to need your help in the

coming months as Amazon is getting rid of a big source of income for us. So if

Our second story is titled There Are the Art Makers, Dreamers of Dreams,
