Folium Fan Mail The Folium Sock Contest runs from January 2nd to the 9th. You don't have to have finished listening to the whole show to enter, but really, what are you waiting for? Those other podcasts/work/sleep can wait - this is important!

Hello. We hope you are enjoying the contest. We received a correct answer that did not include an email address, so we have no way to contact that person. Folium Fan Mail is only one-way – we can't text you back. That's probably a good thing, as Quel was ready to disqualify them with a message that can politely be described as, 'lacerating'. Ares managed to placate her by promising her the World's Largest Rubik's cube, a case of her favorite diet soda, and a highly experimental, sub-atomic pe...

This ends the Folium Diary 🍃 (Sorry for posting so late! Raff kept texting with questions about our trip) [I wouldn't have so many questions if you told me the plan in the first place] (I was rather busy launching the app I spent the last ten years working on) [Yes but I'm the pilot and we can't take off without knowing where we're going] (True, but it's my plane and you could cut me some slack) Would you vexatious virago’s please stop?! We are trying to enjoy the last page of the diary. (Sor...

Cherie, thank you for letting me make my first (and probably last) podcast episode! Seven Sevens: Feast of the Seven FishesLife in Seven Songs podcastSeven Pillars of the Circular EconomySeven Samurai filmSeven Perceptual StatesNew Seven Wonders of the WorldDance of the Seven Veils(Cherie also told me that 'Folium' is actually spelled with seven letters, like Ffynnon, but the second 'f' is invisible. Was she kidding? With Cherie, you never really know )

Interview Protocol has been completely scuttled. This episode was supposed to be Dispatch 7, and the interview with Professor B was supposed be yesterday, and...whatever. As Ferris says, life moves pretty fast – if you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it. I didn't want to miss getting together with Jane and Daisy – we could be sisters!! Raff was on her best behavior and put on a real charm offensive – she took Jane out for a ride on her motorcycle while Daisy a...

Zoom Call Jane's wearing the Wildfang/Peanuts shirt Daisy gave her. Lucy is yelling at Charlie Brown, "After I got to be President, it would be only one short step to QUEEN!!" Daisy says she's Lucy, and we better stay out of her way 😜 Such a lovely child 🙄

Dispatch 6* *Every time I open the file it's longer than before - now it's over 22,200 pages! So I copied some interesting 'Foliumisms' from the first few pages and read them over this. I may have gone overboard with vocal fx, but, yolo ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ ͡⁠°⁠ ͜⁠ʖ⁠ ͡⁠°⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

Dispatch 5 "trust your gut"

Dispatches 3 & 4 (Smoke was admirably tight-lipped about the numerous breaches of protocol that took place in the family's absence. I'm sure someday Maria will discover the scratches on the dining table that Smoke and I covered up with a lovely floral centerpiece, but by then I'll be in the wind and Smoke can fend for herself. Bad Co-Host, bad! )

This page is dedicated to the memory of Fred Silver - musician, composer, lyricist, author, and vocal coach. He wrote seven musicals and over a hundred choral pieces, including this epic, performed here by the harmonious hepcats of Gotcha! (Ps. I published early so you can get to bed early 🙂‍↕️)

Dispatch 2 (Smoke has been promoted to Co-Host for the next few episodes. She accepted the position once she realized it meant increased chin scratches, more frequent treats, and getting to jump on all the places Maria normally tries to prevent her from jumping on. In return, she promised not to play with my mouse 🖱️ yeah right )

The Folium would like to thank Todd Parker and the Witches. Visit their bandcamp for s'more great music 🏕️ Happy Holidays!

Dispatch 1

Happy to hear Raff and Ares made up - those two are high-maintenance!
