Episode Thirty-Eight: Katy Waldman

In This Episode:

Slate's Katy Waldman trains up to the Damn Library just to talk about the ToB! But also to talk about Jane Austen, A.O. Scott, and the Underwoods.

Other highlights:

* Christopher shaved! He didn't say that on the episode though.
* More Macbeths than a regional theater in financial trouble.
* Drinks, sex, and sexy drinks.
* "The Rooster", brought to you by Brooklyn Gin!
