Wednesday: gnomes and homes

The two interviews on today's show vary pretty wildly in both theme and tone, but at least the topics rhyme.

The lure of gnomes and homes (6:49)
Both home schooled students and gnomes are often stigmatized as loners. Today, we have two stories that refute such ideas. Amina Al-Sadi interviews a parent and teacher at a home school resource center. Molly McGill talks to her neighbor, who is building a home for a gnome.

Here's a picture of Vern, Molly's hook-handed neighbor, and his gnome

Flickr has a slideshow of garden gnomes, if you need some more visual stimulation while listening to the show.

it is entirely possible that some of these shows should be called "adorable dudes near the woods".

I'm enjoying learning so much about the diversity of Northwest corner of the country, though I've never been there. Keep up the great work.
