Welcome back to whatever this is. Michael & Ethan do continue to discuss The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman, by Laurence Sterne. The next one will be normal, we promise.

In this episode:

A tour of oddities

A moment of silence

Why Shakespeare was a socialist (according to Marx)

Some finger-pointing

Irrelevant is not the same as immaterial

The preacher rides a hobby-horse

You might be an agelast if…

Next time will be “normal”
