A dark chapter. Join our host Phil and our friend Topher if you dare, as they bravely proceed and grandly inquire in deep and deeper waters. Many friends have requested to read this chapter with Phil, but Topher, entirely inexperienced in things Karamazov, is the unsuspecting chosen one. Do not be alarmed, gentle listener, when Topher makes borderline racist comments and talks openly about his hatred for Russians. It is best to pretend he is probably joking. Still more, take heart when we encounter descriptions of terrifying Turkish torture, and when we face profound philosophical paragraphs that span pages and pages. Endure with us, listeners. It's the Brothers Karamazov and Friends -- where it is best to pretend we are probably joking. Except, of course, when we are not.
