  • Ep. 107: Biographical Dictionary of English Literature

    Biographical dictionaries are pernicious ways the authors of said dictionary get you to read their roasts of people long dead who have no way of defending themselves. They’ll tear apart Philip Bailey (dead in 1902), but Rudyard Kipling they’ll leave alone because (at the time of that writing) he’s still alive!

  • Ep. 101: Daily Training - Sleep, Rest & Relaxation

    Not surprisingly, a lot of people experience sleeplessness. And the author of this chapter wants you to know you won’t die from insomnia. But surprisingly, I meaninglessly put on a stethescope and lab coat that you cannot see to portray a stereotypical doctor. Why? Because sleeplessness just got a little more complicated and I wanted you to think I’m an expert in the subject.
