Episode notes

I found it telling that the like scarlet letter in pop culture lists that are out there of like adaptations and things. You know, there were a number of operas inspired by this book. I didn't find out if there were any hip operas. There was a bomb of an adaptation in 1995 with to me more. Like so it's the 90s. No, it is scarlet's bad.

The Scarlet Letter is often included as part of a high school reading curriculum because it's good at teaching people about symbolism, and it's good at teaching people about symbolism because it uses a half-dozen symbols roughly 700 times apiece.

Our theme music was composed by Nick Lerangis.
