If what we all really want is to be happy, why do we line up and pay money to watch something that we know ahead of time is going to make us sad? Join Peter and Justin as they consider the paradox of tragedy, and try to make sense of the hold that tragic drama has maintained on humanity going all the way back to the Greeks. Don’t wanna listen to the episode? Why don’t you cry about it.
