Join in as we discuss hunting for pirate booty, cryptography, and our curiosity as to why our dear Somerset decided to include this story, out of all Poe’s writing.

Kelsey talks about hybrid genre and her desire to grow horns. She also carries on about how Spock was made for the Enlightenment (or perhaps the enlightenment was made for Spock).

We know, this is quite the surprise. Check out our ultimate tangent episode in which we discuss why Kelsey is obsessed with short stories and Kaisha’s moral book loaning dilemma. Also, we have proof that Kelsey snort laughs and that Kaisha wooed her husband with gifts of tiny puffball mushrooms.
