About this episode
The episode explores the experiences of working in bookshops and the preservation of literature, blending personal anecdotes with philosophical musings.
The written word cradles the reader into an unknown universe. But what's it really like working in bookshops? Come explore a candid glimpse into the past as we reminisce on the preservation of the literary realm (circa 2012 and beyond). From speech impediments to retail blunders, celebrity sightings, and the definition of true kahm-uh-rahd-uh-ree in the workplace. Dust bunnies for miles! Nietzsche's troubled bowel movements interpreted as poetry? Stay until the very end of our monologue...
