[Warning] This episode contains explicit language and explicit themes. Listener discretion is advised.

Danny is always saying that in order to understand something one must first understand the origin of that something. For literature it is cave drawings, those wonderful, rudimentary sketches on the walls done in crude paint. However, before language, those drawings were language; so what, by extension, is their current iteration? Children's books. And what better way for Danny to analyze the importance of children's books than by talking to his mother. Together they go over some general concepts about the importance of children's books but then the episode drifts into an interview of Danny's mother and what she thinks about the evolution and current standing of children's book are in American culture. Look forward to a little of Danny's past, a decent history lesson, and some good arguments and insight.
