Hello, listeners. It's your host, Pete Davis here. To share that over at the bird feed,

we have a wonderful bonus episode on Irish poet William Butler Yates, brought to you by the two

Yates heads on our staff, Amusements editor Light of Gold, and senior editor Brianna Renix.

But I wouldn't exactly describe the episode as a poetry

episode. Rather, I'd describe it as a rollicking ride that takes you on a journey from Yates's

strange diagrams to the question of the lack of Irish socialism and finally, of course, to the

mystery of Jordan Peterson's appeal. All in one episode. You don't

need to know about Yates to enjoy this episode. They'll explain it for you. You don't want to miss this.

And you can listen to the episode and all the episodes on the Current Affairs Bird Feed by becoming a

patron on our Patreon page. That's patreon.com slash current affairs.

Our main episodes come out every two weeks on this feed, but bonus episodes like Nathan

and Oren and Oren and Vanessa breaking down the masterpiece cake shop decision coming

down from the Supreme Court, and Bree and Vanessa and

Lita discussing reality TV come out on the bird feet. So hope you can join up and take a listen.

But if not, no worries. We'll be back with the main episode next week. For now, here's Lita and

Brianna with an excerpt from their Yates episode.

Yeah, so Yates was really into the occult.

He thought he had like a spirit guide named Leo Afrikanus who would like tell him things.

He like ended up writing a weird book called like a vision that had like all these like very

strange diagrams in it.

I don't, yeah, I don't even how you describe them.

Lots of like angles and numbers.
