Wide Sargasso Sea, by Jean Rhys, and Laphroaig 10yo, Part 2

Michael and Ethan continue to discuss Wide Sargasso Sea, by Jean Rhys.

In this episode:

  • A third host joins the podcast, but not like THAT

  • Michael is generous, or is he?

  • Ethan was definitely trying to think of “Knockin’ On Heaven’s Door”

  • The discussion goes pretty deep pretty quickly and it’s kind of hard to say sarcastic things about it?

  • Most of the episode is spent on three pages of the book, sorry

  • But at least the previous point is acknowledged so you’re not allowed to be mad?

  • Ethan accuses Jane Eyre of having warts

  • Michael finally reveals his true motivation for making the entire podcast

  • This is the “Michael making his high school teachers mad” show (not the same as the previous point)

Next episode Michael and Ethan will discuss Despair, by Vladimir Nabokov. Join the discussion! Go to the Contact page and put "Scotch Talk" in the Subject line. We'd love to hear from you! And submit your homework at the Michael & Ethan in a Room with Scotch page.
