Ten-Page Podcast: Wintertime Wager (1948)

Guest Host; Sara Santiago Happy Holidays! "Wintertime Wager" is a classic Ten-Pager, the story that famously introduces Gladstone Gander, before Barks had assigned him his supernatural good luck! It also, by technicality, serves as our holiday episode, as the ducks briefly reference it being Christmas at the very beginning! This is a great slapstick story, and rife with opportunities to talk about lemonade, sub-zero swimming, and to explore some of the internalized anxiety at the root of Donald and Gladstone's ridiculous yet hilarious wagers!
