Foundress of Nothing
by Jen Graves and Dave Quigg
We're married. We made a podcast. It's about how one of us wanted the other one of us to read Middlemarch and now we're finally reading it together. Basically, we looked at all the hot trends and determined this would be unstoppable clickbait.

Deaths mourned and unmourned
Death scenes felt safely abstract when we started making plans for this episode. Cancer crashed in, and Jen's Dad died weeks later. We return to talking about Middlemarch from the other side of loss.

Fred Vincy needs therapy and sucks at apologizing
Links to stuff we mentioned: Jen's 12/6/16 piece "Akio Takamori's Drawings and Sculptures of Men Apologizing" Nikole Hannah-Jones' brilliant This American Life episode about the persistence of school segregation and a district that accidentally desegregated: "The Problem We All Live With." Jen got an email about "opportunity hoarding" and a book called Despite the Best Intentions: How Racial Inequality Thrives in Good Schools And of course ... Middlemarch, which is available for money wherever books and audiobooks are sold for money as well as for free via Project Gutenberg for text and Librivox for audio.

"Oh good. You got to the murder."
In which we use "In which ..." to begin an episode description for the last time. We also discuss whether George Eliot should have to be in a room with Donald Trump and why it's maybe a good thing to treat Middlemarch like a snack food.

The jewelry scene
In which we misremember our vow to never again do an episode longer than 27 minutes as a vow to never again do an episode longer than 28 minutes.

Nothing to do with Ruprecht
In which we find a title for the podcast by scouring the early chapters of Middlemarch for phrases to steal, and we vow never to make any future episodes longer than 27 minutes.
