Heard joke once: Man goes to doctor. Says he's depressed. Says life seems harsh and cruel. Says he feels all alone in a threatening world where what lies ahead is vague and uncertain. Doctor says, "Treatment is simple. Great podcast Bookclub releases today. Go and download it. That should pick you up." Man bursts into tears. Says, "But doctor...I am Bookclub."

You know what's cool? Making the International Sign Language gesture for the letter J. This "hand j" can be used to show people that you know what's up. This gesture will be sweeping the nation before you know it. The hippies had the peace sign; millenials will be giving each other hand j's until they die of laziness. Anyway, we talk about Michael Ende's The Neverending Story in this episode. You should join us! We'll give you a hand j if you do.

Also, we apologize for the poor audio quality at the beginning. Some doofus was recording with the wrong microphone. It gets better about 10 minutes in.
