The classic moral philosophy problem in the form of a short story! Or that's the popular perception anyway; GSV examines that reading, and Johnny presents a less popular one with more Cultural undertones as they examine Ursula K. Le Guine's "The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas."

Attempting (and beautifully executing) an apparently rapid recovery from the pyschological problems one would expect Horza to suffer in this situation, our hero continues down his dark path, commenting on how nice the rapidly moving light at the end of the tunnel looks!

A cast to downsize and a presence of demise! Horza makes his way back to the railroad that fate built for him and makes every effort to reach the death world he was destined for, but endless complexities are before him as ever.

Fascists and Feculence! Johnny and GSV begin the long awaited beginning to the culture series, as The Culture ramps up for its fight against the hated Idiran Empire! But neither the empire nor their cultured foes are the focus of this tale, as we start on contemporary religious references and move immediately on to a seemingly inconsequential pair of doomed agents fleeing dangerous situations in service of their respective home group-civilizations!

Orbs of sight, reader's delight! GSV and Johnny, aided by special guests Jace Dickey and Zeek Aran, read through the entire damnable text of the ancient work of ill-advisedly published fantasy fiction, The Eye of Argon! Strap in for 3 hours of audiobook and 1 hour of complaining and giggling, both of them nonconsecutively.

Here's the PDF version we were reading from: [ https://ansible.uk/misc/eyeargon.pdf ] (and here's a backup text transcr ipt, because that's really hard to read: https://ansible.uk/misc/eyeargon.html )

This episode is the first one edited by dear friend of the show GSV. If you noticed any differences, feel free to point them out so we can get competitive about who's the better editor :D
