Episode notes

There's a sequel, Charlie in the Great Glass Elevator. Which came out in 1972. I have vaguely fond memories of it because the last time I read it, I was like eight. But I don't suspect based on Goodreads reviews and just like remembering what I remember about the book is probably not a must read.

We're talking about candy for the second week in a row, but this time the candy is literal, and the building is a factory and not a house. Willy Wonka is a mad candy scientist who flouts labor regulations and inflicts misery on children he deems insufficiently deserving. It's a fantabulous, scrumdiddlyumptious romp!

Our theme music was composed by Nick Lerangis.
