Check out the awesome companion website sxp made! The starting quote for this episode is: “Leaders are visionaries with a poorly developed sense of fear and no concept of the odds against them.” —Robert Jarvik And the stop quote for this episode is: “They know the music but not the words.” — Hare, Without Conscience
