This episode is mostly books and music. I do a deep dive into the etymology of Beowulf and then talk about things that were written in a form of English we understand. I also talk about a bunch of new music. And some other stuff. You know how I am. Check out the blog at http://emptychecking.blogdpot.com for photos and stuff!
