In this episode we discuss four short stories from Kurt Vonnegut's collection, Welcome to the Monkey House. Just to keep it confusing the titular story is not one we discuss. We get into the weeds of Harrison Bergeron, Who and I This Time, Ready to Unwear, and EPICAC. If you are worried about spoilers for sixty year old short stories, probably don't listen, if you are curious and maybe not familiar with Vonnegut (as two of the three of us were) we certainly have some thoughts!
