What do you think? I think we're dead meat. Real dead meat.

You dead meat!

Go ahead and laugh you guys. If I have a final word for you, I'll just say this.

You're dead meat.

Hey, it's Jess Chelsea this week. I'm a podcast. I know we said we were gonna review Pearl.

I'm hoping we can do it next week. If you didn't see James's video on the channel recently,

we've had some personal life stuff come up that we have to attend to.

Not entirely sure how that's gonna affect the podcast schedule, but we're both playing it by ear.

So this week I'm gonna read a story instead, the yellow wallpaper by Charlotte Perkins Gilman.

It was first published in January 1892 and it's a classic for a reason.

There's a pretty good chance you read this in English class in high school.

We're gonna get right to it after a word from our sponsor, NordVPN.

We'll get the ad read out of the way because I think an ad read in the middle of this story would be super duper weird.

Let's say you're at a coffee shop and you want to use their guest Wi-Fi.

You see a signal named totally free Wi-Fi and what do you know? It's unlocked.

You log in and you're all set with your free Wi-Fi. No strings attached, right? Wrong.

Now all your personal information is the target of a man in the middle attack.

That Wi-Fi was fake and now all your info like your passwords or banking information is sent right to this mysterious man in the middle.

I don't think it's actually a literal man.

To avoid this you can always check for a lock icon or HTTPS in the destination URL of the address bar or use a VPN like today's sponsor to encrypt your information.
