In our Season 5 wrap-up, we try to stir up a little controversy amongst Yr Worships’s favorite book commies by rerunning Pilgrim’s Progress as a series of debates about the Greatest Hits (™) from past pods. A fierce argument breaks out over whether we have to lose Tristram Shandy or Ulysses from our boat to make it through the Slough of Despond – until we remember some jackass put a crate of Lady Chatterley’s Lover in the hold. Which Season 5 failchild will we use as a life raft? (Pierre, obv., he’s pretty and buoyant what with entirely lacking a brain.) But never fear, we come together and make it to the Celestial City. Of communism.

We’re off for a couple months, comrades, but will see you in the spring for Season 6!
