SHOW NOTES
- Our translations of Homer: Robert Fitzgerald (1961), Robert Fagles (1996) and Stanley Lombardo (2000).
- Jordan gets some cracks in at Peter Jackson’s The Hobbit trilogy. And Michial takes a shot at Argo.
- Like Don and Betty Draper, Menelaus and Helen silently ride home.
- Telemachus is the victim of a Minnesota goodbye.
- We go off on a detour on Ray Stevens. Like a good Carolinian, Jay sings a few bars of “Shriner’s Convention.” Michial references “It’s Me Again, Margaret.” Jordan memorized “Mississippi Squirrel Revival.”
- Our theme music was provided by Blue Dot Sessions.
