Aerobuses! Baby laws! The Ministry of Brains! It's Guy Fawkes Night and we're taking a trip into a Very English Dystopia as tribute. 
Join us as we explore the world of Rose Macaulay's interwar science-fiction satire novel "What Not," where we draw unflattering parallels to our real lives, ponder the wisdom of idealism, and wonder how long it will be before some billionaire creates flying buses that are also death traps. 
As always, sources & things can be found at didntreaditpod.com!

It's spooky season, and we're celebrating with an exploration of Washington Irving's timeless classic, "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow"! Join us as we dive in (and try not to lose our heads) to a story of gluttony, superstition and nerds vs. jocks in early American literature. 
**GRACE got distracted by putting up her Halloween decorations and didn't have time to record the closing song credit, so here it is: today's closing music is "Boo!" by Dresden, the Flamingo.**
As always, you'll be able to find sources cited & more at didntreaditpod.com.
Happy Halloween!!
