good news, everyone! the audio quality of episode two is markedly better than in episode one! i'm (josh) learning great stuff about audio editing! no weird gaps! background noise removed!
bad news, everyone! we were both tired and unprepared when recording this episode, so ... it's maybe boring? some of last week's topics get a rehash. but hey, that's life, and we have a through-line now, i suppose.

topics this week included:

• The Saint
• The Murder on the Links
• 1493
• The Ashes of London
• Dune (again. and still a major motion picture. twice.)
• Wuthering Heights ("0 stars. every character in this book is terrible." -josh)
• Poldark
• Pride and Prejudice
• Birder Murder Mysteries (#5 referenced in the show)
• New Balance MSCFIV1
