Description

Now this episode really has it all... a wager with God, boxes of jewels, a poisoned mother, a murdered brother, the teenage mutant ninja turtles (maybe), and the ORIGINAL Faustian pact. Mandee and co-host Deborah discuss the Schubert song Gretchen am Spinnrade with text by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. Complete with guest appearance by Deborah's bird, Sir Phillip Birb.
