Episode 0: with Fyodor Dostoevsky

In which we introduce the podcast. Join our friend Aaron as he interviews our host Phil and digs deep into the mythological roots of TBKaF, asking hard-hitting questions like "Phil. Describe The Brothers Karamazov in ten words or less. Go." (To which Phil's answer was, SPOILER ALERT, "The Brothers Karamazov is a novel about greed, lust, and.") Their discussion, rich with thorough Wikipedia research, cites such scholars as Martin Heidegger, Richard Dawkins, and William Shatner, amongst others, and delves into topics like bad film adaptations, Russia's Golden Age of Crazy, and how to pronounce "Karamazov". In a surprise twist, we also learn why the subject of epilepsy has always resonated with Phil, which really explains just so many things. For those who love really long Russian novels, this episode may provide some mild laughter and a couple of insights. For those who hate really long Russian novels, what is wrong with you?
