Episode notes

There were about 15, 20 people in the bar at the outset. The bartender was making fun of me but then she bought a shot for him. She said she had a friend that couldn't be here who liked the podcast. And you know, people were buying us drinks too. I didn't even get to meet everybody.

David and Tamler are pulled into Ursula K. Le Guin's "The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas." Omelas is a truly happy city, except for one child who lives in abominable misery. Is that too high a moral cost? Why do some people walk away from the city? Why does no one help the child? Why does Le Guin make us create the city with her? Plus, we talk about our listener meetup in Vancouver, and a new edition of [dramatic music] GUILTY CONFESSIONS. Note: if this episode strikes you as too puritanical, then please add an orgy.
