Beth Beaty joins us as the Pandavas transition from living in the forests to living in hiding back in civilization. If they are discovered, it's another long twelve years to thirteen exile extension. Our heroes take ordinary jobs that make them elusive to their enemies. Their back stories however to maintain their disguises, we find them...questionable. Good things they've been blessed by multiple deities cause in our minds, it's only by gods' grace that no one is suspicious of them.

Marjorie Hakala joins us for the finale to Adi Parva (the book of the forest)

The Pandavas are just about done with their twelve years in the forest, but poor big brother Yudhishthira has not been doing as well as he's claimed. Though the family has forgiven him for that terrible day that led to their banishment, he has still not forgiven himself.

Days before their twelve years is up, the four younger Pandavas drink from a yaksha's lake despite the yaksha's warning, and immediately fall dead. (oh dear) Yudhishtira arrives at the lake, and though parched, heeds the yaksha by answering a series of riddles.

Azure and Marjorie take a stab at some of the riddles to see how they would do.

Marjorie Hakala is a writer with an MFA from Hamline University, a singer with VocalEssence a world traveler, and quite the wonderful person to talk to.

The Pandavas are almost done with year 12 of living in exile, but there are still a couple more attempts to knock them down a peg or two.

First Duryhodana tries to have a sage arrive at the Pandavas abode at the worst time to get them cursed. Fortunately hope arrives from the most...,well, from the most likely of places actually. Krishna pops in and pops out, staying just long enough to help a sister out.

Then, a brother in law shows up, only to behave in the worst way a brother in law could behave- truly the worst way.

Jayadratha acts without remorse and without wisdom, enraging Bheema and suffering his wrath.
