Episode notes

What if there was a Luke Skywalker of this war kind of, you know, and then it ends with him successfully being acquitted in his court martial? It's possible. You're a loose cannon, much like the cannons on your chips, but you get results. And so they he will probably get to command a boat again, I bet at least like 19 more times.

Flog the jib and shiver me timbers, it's time to set sail with the first of Patrick O'Brian's Aubrey-Maturin novels Master and Commander. It's equal parts ship jargon, ship action, and shipmen (aka sailors) pondering themes of isolation and authority. Plus, we get to the bottom of who exactly is the master and who is the commander.

Our theme music was composed by Nick Lerangis.
