so the next episode is planned, just need to do face to camera stuff. Now i'm playing with two ideas for the episode after this one, either Machiavelli, the least Machiavellian person in history. Or for a real weird one, the history of the Kenny Veach mystery.

i also fundamentally do not understand how people let public speaking become an ego thing: how can you possibly feel anything but gratitude that strangers would give up their time to not only listen to you speak in the first place, but then also think about what they heard, and tell you so?
