Hey, I'm Heidi White.

And I'm Sean Johnson.

And you are listening to Close Reads, a podcast for The Incurable Reader on which we are discussing a tale of two cities by Charles Dickens.

And today is our Q&A episode.

And as you can tell, I am not David Kurt. I hope that you have identified that,

dear listener. And yep, and neither is Sean. Things are topsy-turvy in March because,

I don't know, like spring break, moving, basketball. No, I'm just kidding. Basketball hasn't

impacted a relationship at all. I'm mad about David winning the heist again, so we're not speaking right now.

I mean, it's a contestable victory, though. I feel like it's... Maybe. I don't know.

Yeah, that was a joke also. We're not in Discord.

It's just our schedules are all in disarray this week.

And so because it is spring break and travel and all that.

And so here, Sean and I are to talk about a tale of two cities.

This is what you get.

You get what you get and you don't throw a fit.

That's exactly right. Right. Okay. Which is probably what people should say to us about this book, right?

I think that that's been a pretty consistent theme and some of the feedback that we've received.

Like Sean, Heidi, David, you get what you get.

And you guys just are throwing too many fits.

I think that even that would be to grant too much.

I think it's been a lot of we have given you, we have given you perfection and this is what you,

this is how you thank us.
