Hello from Elsewhere: a real podcast about fiction! In this episode, we discuss the most iconic mentors in popular culture, defining them as weak, fallible, and human: Obi-Wan Kenobi lies, Albus Dumbledore uses people, and Leslie Knope is "a massive, runaway steamroller with no brakes and a cement brick on the gas pedal." (We also discuss a haunted birthday balloon and debate the geography of coonskin hats.)
