On this episode, Benjamin Gorman gabs with Doug the Producer about three novels and a way they are connected: TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD by Harper Lee, BABEL by R.F. Kuang, and DUNE by Frank Herbert. And Benjamin gets to say some things about #Trump’s #MAGA movement he can’t say in a public school classroom.

Today’s secret word is: Empire
