Dear Listener,
Jon called Stan on his way home from work and got sent straight to voicemail. Stan was at poetry group reading Dante's Inferno. That's the kind of episode this is.
We recorded on a moment's notice, so you get an unfiltered hour of books and TV. Othello is the Q2 Shakespeare pick, we're both in reading funks, and listen in to hear why Wind and Truth broke Stan's heart. From there we get into the Firefly animated reboot, Jon's surprise anime phase, and a Star Trek ranking that might get us in trouble.
Lastly, the Twisties say Jon doesn't talk enough. Stan agrees! The semi-official robot calculated word count this week: Stan 7,911 (72.5%), Jon 3,002 (27.5%).
We set a 40% target for Jon, which still remains aspirational. But now we're workshopping a new segment called Johnny Five — a five-minute Jon monologue.
So let us know, how did Jon do?
Thanks for listening,
Stan Lemon & Jon Kohlmeier
