August 13, 2024 S4 Episode 53 - Canoodling Canoe

August 06, 2024 S4 Episode 52 - In This Dead Summertime
The heat is rising out there in Lycurgus. Nothing to do in the stultifying heat but rent a boat and head on out to Crum Lake and eat some goddamned watermelon, which is how your host has been spending about 40% of his time when not reading classic works of literature and commenting on them out loud.
