This season, we dive into a somewhat controversial novella by an excellent Polish-English writer. Life in 1899 was very different from how we live today.

That doesn't excuse how people, places, and their associated cultures are portrayed throughout this story, but it does explain it. Some of the themes in this episode are hard to listen to. Please take care when decided where and if you'll listen.
