| 12/16/25 | ![]() 290: Civil Disobedience by David Henry Thoreau | In this episode, we learn how to---as Graeme would say---RIP THE SYSTEM. Well, at least until an aunt bails us out. | — | ||||||
| 12/9/25 | ![]() 289: John Bunyan and Babe le bœuf bleu | In this episode, we talk about allegory and cattle. Oh, and Pilgrim's Progress | — | ||||||
| 12/2/25 | ![]() 288: Macbeth Inverted | In this episode, Graeme talks us through a framework in which we can experience Macbeth (you know, that Scottish play). Turns out that when you kill a Scottish king, everything goes topsy turvy. | — | ||||||
| 11/4/25 | ![]() 287: The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, by Washington Irving | Ever heard of the headless horseman? Did you know he was a Hessian Soldier? Do you know where the Jack-o-lantern comes from? FIND OUT IN THIS SPOOOOOOOKY EPISODE. | — | ||||||
| 10/7/25 | ![]() 286: Prince Darling | Faeries. Stay away from them or you'll have your finger pricked all to heck. | — | ||||||
| 9/30/25 | ![]() 285: The Democratic Man: Plato's Republic Revisited | In this episode, Graeme discusses the degradation of man as a reflection of the degradation of the state suggested in Plato's Republic, Book VIII. Apparently true freedom is bloodshed. | — | ||||||
| 9/9/25 | ![]() 284: Sun Tzu's "The Art of War" | In this (far too long) episode, we play a quiz show with a cake as a prize. Because really, that's what every war is about: cake. | — | ||||||
| 9/2/25 | ![]() 283: Beauty and the Beast | Thomas continues his series on children's books with the (an?) original Beauty and the Beast tale. It's pretty lovely. Is it bad if I want to be Thomas's kid? | — | ||||||
| 8/26/25 | ![]() 282: Sense and Sensibility, by Jane Austen | In this episode, we discuss Jane Austen's "Sense & Sensibility," along with a bunch of doofy males. I mean we discuss them, we don't podcast with them. | — | ||||||
| 8/19/25 | ![]() 281: The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde | Evil deeds? Never. I would never do that. I mean, somebody else might. But I never would. Trample a child? Nah. Nope. Not me. | — | ||||||
| 5/20/25 | ![]() 280: Raskolnikov and Narcissism | In this episode, Graeme tells us of the Narcissism of Raskolnikov. I mean, Graeme tells you, but A.J. had all the ideas (please give him validation). | — | ||||||
| 5/13/25 | ![]() 279: Aesop's Fables | In this episode, we talk about ants, grasshoppers, scorpions, and a fish named Chris. | — | ||||||
