Episode notes

Smeri wrote about Zurich in the 1560s, a time of rapid industrialization. She and other representatives of the era glossed over social problems with stories of peaceful rural life. Smeri: The appeal of this for some people maybe comes from an idyllic, simpler past that is just a rosy invention.

Heidi, Heidi, Heidi! Everyone's talking about this adorable ragamuffin, a precocious child who lights up every life she touches like a ray of God's perfect sunshine. This week we learn that living in a hut in the Swiss Alps is better than living in a city, and that if you roast a piece of cheese just right it sounds like the best food you could ever eat.
