Double-sided tape y'all!! Seriously though, the Pope-President conversation was perfect, complete with Pope facial expressions.

If you haven't heard this NPR story about Charlotte's Web, it's a great one. Apparently when E.B. White was recording the audio version of the book, it took him 17 tries to get through Charlotte's death. He kept breaking down and crying.
