Hello and welcome to Classical Stuff You Should Know, a podcast about books and ideas and philosophy and war and conquest.

My name is Thomas Magby.

I am joined as always by Mr. A. J. Hanenberg.

That's me. And Mr. Graham Donaldson. Hello. And today we are continuing on with part two of,

is it our most requested? Like, how would you describe, our longest promised series of episodes?

It's my biggest failure. I mean, I didn't want to say it that way. That's how we want to say it that way.

I felt that way.

I didn't say it.

But part two of the series on Gingascom.

Yeah, part two, I'm doing it.

I thought, I've thought about just doing the intro and then doing something else.

Three years.

That's so good.

I almost did a modest proposal instead.

Just to throw people off.

Have you fermented any mares milk in the in-between?

I've not, but I've talked to people who have, and apparently it is disgusting.

It tastes just like straight vomit.

That's gross.

Really gross.

Not ideal.

Maybe it was like a bad vintage.
