IN THIS EPISODE: As we head into a new year, I thought it would be appropriate to make something old, new again – it’s a story I shared many years ago in the podcast and I really enjoyed narrating it – plus, it’s very appropriate for the day. The story was written in 1880 by Grant Allen; it’s titled “My New Year’s Eve Among The Mummies”.
