In this episode: Finally alone except for a dog and cat Persuasion Chapter 53 Persuasion is either Much Ado About Nothing or Parks and Rec or both Our highest aim on this podcast is “possible legitimacy” Jane Austen can’t have anybody naked, even in the 1990s People have been really gross and done really gross stuff for a long time Did Lee Harvey Oswald kill Kennedy using the butterfly effect? Novel + satire + socialist(?) class critique = Jane Austen is a genius Mrs Smith and Zombies Community comes out through conversation How much of community is persuasion? We still need each other whether we like it or not No community has ever flourished without the possibility of people you don’t like Michael brag brag brags Next time Michael and Ethan will discuss Glorious Exploits, by Ferdia Lennon!
