Frui Uti (Season 3, Episode 12)

Season 3, Episode 12: Frui Uti

This episode is on human relations and the complicated, complementary aspects of use and enjoyment. It is yet again another episode that should not be enjoyed along with the operation of heavy equipment or sharp objects, and, as we shall discover by the end, properly not enjoyed at all.

The BetterPears Memorare prayer campaign continues. Pledge and report your offered prayers for the success of BetterPears at BetterPears.com/Memorare..

Finally, the BetterPears Podcast is offered free through the wonder of the internet but made possible through the continued contributions of our listener audience. Our crowdfunding program BetterPears Leaves. is simple and some might say elegant in design. Contribute $12 or more each month to BetterPears and receive a thank you Goldback in the mail. It is like a Patreon but with fractional, physical gold instead of BTS and blooper reels.

Immolation (Season 3, Episode 4)

Season 3, Episode 4: Immolation

This episode considers scarred words in a scarred world and the healing that comes from authentic sacrifice. It is another episode that Big Lexi, the lexicography cartel does not want you to hear nor enjoy.

You may never view burnt toast or a runt piglet the same hereafter.
