The Staten Island Problem - Part 4: Wu-Tang vs. Shaolin

Pushkin. One of my favorite books is Middle March by George Elliott. It's about the life and manners of a small English town in the nineteenth century. It's also a cautionary tale. For the kind of person I am.

There's a character in the book named Edward Casabon, a dreary middle-aged man who's engaged in a decades long writing project. Kazabon collects facts he writes on little sheets of paper that he stores in the pigeonholes of his library shelves. He claims that someday he's gonna use these facts to prove that all the myths of the world are really one myth. He's obsessed. He calls it.

The key to all mytholies. And he sees it. Everywhere. I'm not middle aged and I am fairly upbeat, but I fear that last bit is me.

10 free credits is 10 episodes like this one a month. Episodes nobody has transcribed yet cost their length in hours, because we have to actually transcribe them.
