Episode 17: with Mike Hennings

In which we face another direction entirely. Join our host Phil and our friend Mike Hennings as they abandon the rocking chair and take to the stairs. Mike, recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship, an Elks Club Scholarship, and several Colonel Mustards, honors us with his presence and whets our appetite with some repetitive vocal warm-up exercises before he goes on to unearth many layers of complex characterization: himself as Christian Bale as Batman as Smerdyakov, and so on. Phil and Mike discuss the metaphysical nature of podcasts, buzzmarket both of their twitter pages, and learn that there was probably nothing better to do in 19th century Russia than drink vodka, speak in very long sentences, and be crazy. It's another imperfectly decent episode of The Brothers Karamazov and Friends. Remember, gentle listeners: we don't punish people for their stupidity, so don't punish us for ours.
