Episode notes

Gristosimo was a rich university student who decided he didn't really want to be rich. He read too many pastoral poems and got it in his head that he was going to live that balance of bastion life. And the best way to do that is to go out into the woods, dressed as a shepherd or augol ladies. The world is bad now. So it needs knights. That's my deal. I'm the Batman.

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!
