Chananya KramerHOST
The same exact situation can be by Kochi Mizbeach as well.
Chananya KramerHOST
And for the Gemara, no, you can't, because you can't shear the Kedusha's Mizbeach, even when you're Mishai or the Wool, because you're going to weaken the animal.
Chananya KramerHOST
You're also going to weaken the animal even if the Kedusha's Beda Kabayas.
Chananya KramerHOST
No, because the Omer... you actually would never makdish the value of its weakening.
Mia HobbsHOST

Mia HobbsHOST

Bruce KachokNARRATOR
Upsides and over, and round and round, They crossed, click-clacking, the parish bound.
Bruce KachokNARRATOR
By Tupman's meadow they did their mile, Tee-too-tum on a three-barred stile; Then straight through Whipham, downhill to Week, Footing it lightsome but not too quick; Up fields to Watchet, and on through Wye, Till seven fine churches they'd seen skip by; Seven fine churches and five old mills, Farms in the valley and sheep on the hills, Old Man's Acre and Dead Man's Pool, All left behind as they danced through Wool; And Wool gone by, like tops that seem To spin in sleep they danced in dream.
Bruce KachokNARRATOR
Withy, Well-over, Wasper, Woe, Like an old clock their heels did go.
Bruce KachokNARRATOR
A league and a league and a league they went, And not one weary and not one spent; And lo and behold! past Willowcombe Lee Stretched with its waters the great green sea.
Catherine RyanHOST
Where do we go from here then? Which is the one that's most important to you?

Libby Kirkby-McLeodGUEST
It was written in 1945.
Libby Kirkby-McLeodGUEST
And Chief Inspector Detective Allen comes to New Zealand.
Libby Kirkby-McLeodGUEST
But she brought him out during the war.
Libby Kirkby-McLeodGUEST
So that's interesting in itself, right? What is he doing in New Zealand? Yeah.
Libby Kirkby-McLeodGUEST
The Stide in the Wool is quite well known.
Libby Kirkby-McLeodGUEST
I think it was made into a television series, actually, back in the 70s.
Nicoco ChanCORRESPONDENT
The path officially reopened Wednesday, allowing more emergency personnel and supplies to reach this critical location.
Kim VinnellHOST
[instrumental music plays] As glaciers across the Alps keep shrinking, researchers in Switzerland are turning to an unlikely material to help protect them: sheep's wool.
Kim VinnellHOST
The Keep It Wool project has spent the summer testing whether wool blankets can slow melting as effectively as the synthetic tarps often used on glaciers.
Timothee SteinerSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER

Will TannerHOST
A formal dispatch from the Chief of Engineers, Colonel Joseph G. Totten, ordering Captain Lee to turn over his construction accounts at the Narrows to Major Richard Delafield and proceed immediately via Washington to San Antonio de Bexar, Texas, reporting for active field duty to Brigadier General John E.
Will TannerHOST
Wool.
Will TannerHOST
Twenty-one years after entering West Point, Opportunity had finally summoned the son of Light Horse Harry to the theater of war.
Will TannerHOST
Though he was excited, Lee did not deceive himself about the deadly realities of the Enterprise.
Will TannerHOST
Standing on the deck, Lee watched with anxious pride as his newly purchased mount, the magnificent, spirited Sorrel mare named Creole, plunged into the waves alongside his faithful Irish servant, Jim Connolly, swimming side by side through the breakers to make a landfall on Texas soil.
Will TannerHOST
The next morning, Lee mounted Creole and set out across the open prairie toward San Antonio.
Will TannerHOST
Reporting to General Wool in San Antonio, Lee found himself appointed chief engineer of the center division.
Will TannerHOST
Wool was a veteran of the War of 1812.
Tim MastersGUEST
It...
Tim MastersGUEST
Wool is, it's so wonderful, and it's, um, regulating body temperature, that's pretty much, like, the number one for couples.
Tim MastersGUEST
Like, you know, how is it? Does it hold heat? Is it, you know, I'm a hot sleeper.
Tim MastersGUEST
Well, I can't help anybody with, like, hot flashes or anything like that, but it will...
Tim MastersGUEST
I never really thought about it that much, like, how much longer does it last than cotton? But, like, cotton keeps matting down.
Tim MastersGUEST
Like, in a mattress, cotton will mat down and become very firm.
Tim MastersGUEST
Wool doesn't do that, and because it's, like, it's, like I say, it's, like, kinky.
Tim MastersGUEST
Like, it's not a straight line, and it's like a little spring, and it's always, like, pushing back.

That's what I'm saying!
Matt SponhourHOST
I can get behind you on the Reek Woolen is kind of underrated because he had like a couple of notable stinker plays and he wasn't the best corner on his team.
Matt SponhourHOST
And that always is tough.
Matt SponhourHOST
And somebody is going to get picked on and so and so.
Theo AshHOST
I have I have Sertan and Stingley one and two.
Theo AshHOST
And then I had Witherspoon.
Theo AshHOST

Theo AshHOST
And then I'd have...
NickHOST
No, thank you.
NickHOST
I saw as well that the Queen of Consuls are a subscriber as well, so she'll definitely be keeping you on your toes over the Wool's Room bit.
NickHOST
Matt, anything else for yourself to add?
MattHOST
No, I think we've covered a
RJ WadeHOST
Dr. Vic Clark is a historian of radicalism and political culture in 19th century Britain.
Vic ClarkeGUEST
Wool sourcing was one of those jobs that's at the very start of the woolen manufacture process because you need to have sourced the wool before you can spin it into fibres and then weave it into cloth or knit the yarn into something.
Vic ClarkeGUEST
And so compared to some of those other increasingly mechanised jobs where your job is changing, you're having to do a lot more in a shorter amount of time, Wool sorting is very hands-on, it's very meditative.
Vic ClarkeGUEST
You also get lovely soft hands from doing it because of the oils, the lananin in the wool, which is certainly not the case in other parts of woolen production.
Vic ClarkeGUEST
And so it's also one of the only things that actually changes very minimally throughout the Industrial Revolution.
Vic ClarkeGUEST
So whereas spinning...
Vic ClarkeGUEST
You're spinning dozens of balls of yarn at a time on these giant looms.
Vic ClarkeGUEST
Wool sorting is comparatively very slow and a bit more meditative, which I think really helps with Nicholson's poetry.
