*** NOTE! THIS EPISODE HAS BEEN UPDATED ***

Hey everyone! There was a big production issue with the episode the morning of its release that has since been fixed. It definitely was not an intentional choice - we're not THAT artsy.

We tried hiring outside help and this was the first episode in over 300 that wasn't audio edited by either Carissa or me and it's not something we are going to do again. Every episode from here on out will be edited by us.

So sorry about that and thanks to everyone who let us know of the error. If you still want to hear the story you should be able to refresh the feed and re-download.

A story from Hans Christian Andersen about becoming your best self…after that self completely separates from you and leaves you as merely a shadow.

The creature this time is the invincible bear monster your ghost grandpa warned you about.
