After "The Fiddler of Bayou Teche" - and, to a lesser degree, "The Evolution of Trickster Stories Among the Dogs of North Park After the Change" - I got my local library to order The Coyote Road. It finally came late last year and I read through it.
When Dave said that this story was from that collection, I thought, Oh, I'll just listen until I recognize what story it is and know what's going to happen, then skip to the feedback. Not that I don't like listening, but I have a lot of podcasts I follow and I fell behind over the long weekend.
Anyway, I ended up listening to it all the way through. This wasn't one that stayed with me at the time, though I don't think that makes it bad. I just didn't identify quite as strongly as, say, Dave did with Bright Phoenix.
So, I'm glad you ran this story - it was good to be reminded of it.
I did find Jessica to be a rather unlikely Trickster character, though she pulled it off in the end. I would have liked to have learned more of the backstory involving the ruby, too. I kept expecting to, and then it never happened.
Meta-comment regarding feedback: Personally I find it quite difficult to remember the stories being talked about after 2 months. When Podcastle started, feedback was for stories from 4 weeks previous; this has gradually slid, a week here, a week there, until here we are at a 9 week delay. I assume the delay allows the feedback to be recorded in plenty of time and that's fine, but in that case maybe Dave could give slightly richer reminders of what the stories were about? I've listened to an awful lot of stuff since episode 96 aired...
