Episode notes

The question at the heart of don quixote, realizing that he's a character in a novel, is who stands above you. And so that author has a kind of godlike relationship to you. But that very question starts to make oask, who stands above that author? If you start asking that question, it goes on forever in every direction,. for ever in every drectionion, foreverin every direction.

All the world’s a stage. Or, sometimes it feels that way, especially these days. In this episode, originally aired in 2015, we push through the fourth wall, pierce the spandex-ed heart of professional wrestling, and travel 400 years into the past to unmask our obsession with authenticity and our desire to walk the line between reality and fantasy.

Thanks to Nick Hakim for the use of his song "The Light".
