This podcast begins a slightly off-topic look at repetitive strain injuries, and how George is using Voice Control on the Mac, as well as the Kensington Expert Trackball Mouse.  The major sections of the episode deal with what happened to the young Edgar (and his brother and sister) immediately after his young mother died.

• What happened to Rosalie?
• Who founded Richmond?
• What do you think “Alone” is about?
• Where was the young Poe christened?
• How did the Allans feel about the young Poe at first?
• What is “The Lay of the Last Minstrel’?

• Who is Thomas in the Allan household?
