Apple TV Plus show Dickinson’s creator Alena Smith joins us to talk about Emily Dickinson, the weird American 1850s and transcendentalist author rivalries and fun facts (Edgar Allan Poe was VERY catty and also married his own underage cousin). Then we get into current American history, taking on the modern conspiracy we’ve all been thinking and talking about constantly this year! Plus we answer some Night Calls, and talk about everyone’s favorite viral meme: long Russian novels about class war!
