Episode notes

Don Quixote once again gets his butt completely kicked and like half his ear cut off. The best shield that he can get is a pillow from the cart. Don Quixote broke his lance charging at the windmills. And so he is got like a tree branch mounted on the, the like handle of the lance that he used to have. He does end up winning. There's like a stroke of fortune.

Welcome to 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 1-14.

In Episode 1, we do some table-setting on the author and translation, and then we dive into the first four chapters of the story. In Episode 2, our hero recruits the squire Sancho Panza and goes tilting after some windmills. Also we hear a whole story about a guy who died from lovesickness.

Join us as we meet this errant knight-errant!
