Episode notes

Roger Chillingworth is what everyone says when he walks by. He just wants to torment the sky and watch him writhe in agony about his secret shame. Hester bears a lot of ridicule, which is what would happen if you wore a big scarlet A that sort of advertised forgetfulness. I feel like we don't have a lot of sins in between.

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.
