Episode notes

The main thing that happened in our last stretch of episodes was we hear about this guy. What's the guy's name who's like wandering? Cardinio. And so in Cardinio, we have finally encountered somebody who is as cuckoo bananas as Don Quixote himself. Yes. They do get into basically a fandom fight about how hot different fictional characters are. So this happens. We meet Cardinio and then we get a bit where Quixote and Sancha Ponsa split up for a few days.

Enjoy another episode of our newest show-within-a-show! We're reading Edith Grossman's translation of Don Quixote by Miguel de Cervantes a few chapters at a time. Some Patreon supporters get these episodes monthly, but every two months we'll combine them for general consumption.

These episodes cover Chapters 28-42.

In Episode 5, Don Quixote rejoins the party. and everyone decides to shack up in the only inn/castle in all of Spain. Secondary characters step into the spotlight with their own stories, including a novel-within-a-novel called The Man Who Was Recklessly Curious.

In Episode 6, Don Quixote takes the backseat for a few more chapters. We have to close the book on Cardenio's Crew, finish the story of the Two Friends, and meet a few more ancillary characters who just love this inn.
