50 min
September 29 309: How to Rite Goodest
In this episode A.J. dives into the nuts and bolts of what makes writing good or bad. In Graeme's words, this episode was "shorter than it felt." So . . . buckle up for fun.

July 21 304: 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.
1 hr 3 min
July 14 303: 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.

55 min
May 12 301: 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.
