Episode notes

"This is Florida nothing trash. Which I know nothing about," says host Andrew Keen. "I think that this type of like night's code stuff, this shivalric night stuff actually glosses over a lot of bad behavior by nights throughout the years," he adds. The series premieres tonight at 9 p.m. ET on ABC.

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!
