Two friends and academics recap classic literature and take it off its pedestal. In our seventy-eighth episode, we cover Part One of our possibly most requested text: William Makepeace Thackeray's satirical silver fork novel, Vanity Fair (1848). We address Daniel's unhealthy obsession with the posh 'ain't' accent, both hosts' loathing of George Osborne, and hear a surprisingly amount about curries.

Episode Theme: Beethoven, 'Overture, Op. 72', Fidelio.
