We covered a lot of ground in this podcast series, but one important question is worth returning to here at the end (or the beginning?): Why in the world does this content matter? With math we can balance our checkbooks, with accounting we can make sure we never bounce a check, with science we can stop space rocks from destroying us, and with public speaking we can move the masses. But what about literature? Why bother? This episode addresses that important question, though keep in mind that I offer the fair warning that this is very much my opinion.
