Show Notes

As a reward for his top-tier Patreon support of the MORLS, Brian joins us this week to discuss an episode of his choosing, “The Fisherman and his Soul!” The script is an adaptation of an Oscar Wilde story, produced for Columbia Workshop. The tale features a fisherman who falls in love with a mermaid, only to discover that his human soul prevents them from ever being together. Who does one ask about separating from one’s soul? What happens to that soul? Is there going to be some actual highfalutin scholarly discussion about Oscar Wilde? Listen for yourself and find out!
