Chapter 192: The Nine Muses Salon Podcast (1)

ERATO (Muse of Erotic Poetry): Hello everyone out there in podcast land in the Celestial Realms, welcome to "The Nine Muses Salon" podcast. Today we are broadcasting live from the Celestial Cafe at the world famous Wendigo Residence Inn, "Where Gods Stay and Play." A massive thank you to the Thomas family and the staff and guests for letting us do our show here. In just a few minutes we'll be joined by proprietors Van and Daji Thomas in their podcast debut.

As is usual at the top of the broadcast, let us listen to some beautiful lyre music from my sisters and me.

[Beautiful classical Greek lyre music plays.]

ERATO: Special thanks to our mistress of music, Calliope. Now, let us recite the traditional invocation to begin this podcast, from the Roman poet Virgil.

MUSES: "All you Gods and Goddesses, whose affection is to watch over fields, both nourish seeds to rise up as the earth's new bounty and send ample rain down from the heavens."
