Episode notes

"I think about that with a lot of shame for whatever reason. I honestly like all these confessions except for the jokey ones, like it's not because we're laughing and making light of them," she said. "If any students listen to this, that I'm only stricter because of that."

David and Tamler are pulled into Ursula K. Le Guin's "The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas." Omelas is a truly happy city, except for one child who lives in abominable misery. Is that too high a moral cost? Why do some people walk away from the city? Why does no one help the child? Why does Le Guin make us create the city with her? Plus, we talk about our listener meetup in Vancouver, and a new edition of [dramatic music] GUILTY CONFESSIONS. Note: if this episode strikes you as too puritanical, then please add an orgy.
