Podfic Time – “la cocina es el centro de la casa” (translation: the kitchen is the center of the house) by deadlybride Karlee and I were recommended this fic and we fell in love with it. Young Sam and Dean, a little slice of life, all the sweet smiles and feels. The author, deadlybride, was kind enough to permit me to narrate in full. So, here it is for your enjoyment. Please forgive any butchering of the Spanish. I gave it my best shot (and a lot of research). And all I could think of was Dean

Is it fair for Sandra to be the only one to listen to Karlee’s rants about sexual myths in fics? Of course not. You all get to sign up for the class and get lectured by the Agent of Chaos and Kink on best sex practices. Tentatively, plans are for this to be a new podcast series on Idling in the Impala, so let them know your thoughts after you listen. Today’s subject in Sex Education with Karlee is lube and the many activities it helps to facilitate. Disclaimer - The instructor gets very passionate
