Maddie and Tim take a look at Margaret Atwood's "The Penelopiad", a play which both of them are very, very unfamiliar with. With a handful of millennia between today and when the Odyssey was first whispered, they discuss the questions and problems that come up when attempting to weave a new tale from a familiar story.
(Speaking of weaving, peep the shitty editing Maddie did this time around - Suitors, eat your heart out.)
