Zoé Brown is the guest artist on this bonus episode, reading a touching French story about a miller and the secret he keeps locked away in his windmill. I'm so excited to share this story with you, because I love Zoé's storytelling. Be sure to check out her podcast called The Airing Cupboard where she tells the “extraordinary stories of ordinary people.” You can find it at https://www.theairingcupboard.org or by searching for it in your favorite podcast app. I can't recommend it enough.
