This episode contains four (4) Short Stories. The first one is telling the difference between “who you know” and “who knows you”. Which is better in life and in business? Well, Short Story # 1 will answer that question for you. The second Short Story is about how to check for the freshness of chicken eggs. How to confirm they were or weren’t fertilized or rotten or not. It was quite a process. The third Short Story is about going down a 65 foot well, to assess what was damaging the buckets that pulled up the water. I describe the harrowing trip down and all the amazing stuff I found down there. Yes, there was a surprise. And then the long trip being winched to the top, back to safety. The fourth and final Short Story is about how I got my original Congolese name in October, 1970, and then in the late 1970’s the name got a bit longer. The back story will be told of all three names that make up my current Congolese name. And I answer to it even now when called by my Congolese friends. I hope you enjoy these four (4) Short Stories about various aspects of Congo life. A big thank you to the various voice-over folks to add a fun dimension to the stories.

Well diving was a real Thriller that can Light My Fire for The Final Countdown. You bust your butt making so many sound effects. I had assumed the frog was possibly your granddaughter. One of your best yet podcast.

We were laughing so hard on 4 short stories, volume 2. Classic, well done episodes..

This is a great podcast Jeff. I would have totally freaked out going down into that well. I liked the sound effects and your granddaughter with her ribbets. Yes, it is very easy to take for granted all of the perks we have living in America – safe food at our fingertips.
