Episode 2

Food

School cafeterias, Kraft Macaroni and Cheese, and garden fresh vegetables.

In this episode, The Three-Headed Man traces his food sources. From birth to their current states, each recalls and retells their food journey. For instance, Jazzy recalls encountering an aggressive lunch-lady. Phreddie remembers his nuclear family's "vitamin fortified" foods, and Jimmy, steady as ever, has been fortunate to feed his mouth with fresh vegetables and meats.

Peppered in along with his personal experiences, the second episode offers bits of history and commentary on civilization's ever-changing ideas about food and health. Food allergies, cleansing, nutrition, and food philosophies are served along with the main prompt.

Each episode is a reveal. A slow reveal. A slight reveal. We don't really think about it much, but if we were asked, we might say that the story of the Three-Headed Man is long. Really long. Longer than George R.R. Martin's Game of Thrones story, and, like The Winds of Winter, it is unfinished. We would like to, again, ask for the listener's patience as you listen to our tale.

Fred M Schill

I like to do. I like to make things. And, I like telling stories. I tell stories to myself and to others.

First, a short biography, which is, of course, is a story. I was born in Cleveland, played sports, and attended university. Later, after a few years in the radio business, I returned to university to study education and literature.

With a teaching certificate in my file folder, I began working in high schools, first as a strike-breaking scab substitute teacher in Cleveland's far suburbs, and then in Chicago, mostly in private high schools.

Cleveland and Chicago. My two main towns, and I escaped them both. Presently, I live in a tiny, isolated, mountain village in Spain. I am reluctant to write the name of the town because I don't like tourists. When the tourists arrive, they look at me as if I am an animal in a zoo.
