Funnily enough, one of the best displays of the reality of humanity is found in A Muppet Christmas Carol, where over half of the cast are puppets. We look at the walk through the streets of puppet London with the traveling on a donkey for Mary and Joseph and their rejection at the inn. ## Actions - request_transcript: `POST https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/fumc-bentonville-sermon-podcast-6705824/episodes/december-7th-2025-real-humanity-rev-dr-t-ray-wheeler/transcription-requests` — Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode. - read_markdown: `GET https://stenobird.com/podcast/fumc-bentonville-sermon-podcast-6705824/december-7th-2025-real-humanity-rev-dr-t-ray-wheeler.md` — Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource.
