Michael & Ethan continue to discuss The Orchardist, by Amanda Coplin.

In this episode:'

Ethan is Pinnochio, or Pinnochio is on fire, but not both?

Michael took some wooden nickels.

Michael is friendly for the first time.

Some real solid burns

Amanda Coplin is very gracious

Shakespeare-baiting!

The rest is silence

New concept, right here at the end
