    306: Planet Narnia: Moon and Sun

    Did C.S. Lewis organize his Narnia books around the medieval planets? Graeme sure thinks so. Thomas doesn't. This episode covers the two books connected to the sun and moon.

    305: Nolan's "The Odyssey"

    OOOOOooooh buddy it's a journey.

    304: Kierkegaard's "The Sickness Unto Death," Part One

    In this episode, we discuss part one of the book, in which we find out that we're all despairing, even it you are pretty sure you're not. Rosy book, this one.

    303: Planet Narnia: Jupiter and Mars

    In this book, Graeme teaches us Michael Ward's theory about Narnia---how each book corresponds to one of the planets. Sounds like something Lewis would do. He's a nerd.

    302: Of Mice and Men

    In this episode, A.J. talks about George and Lennie and their unfortunate run-in with wannabe boxer.

    301: Crime and Punishment Part 2: Electric Boogaloo

    In this episode, Graeme finishes what he began in episode 299: a full retelling of Dostoyevsky's "Crime and Punishment." Honestly, I would listen to more audiobooks if they were just Graeme telling me stories.
