Hey, true weirdos, thank you so much for all your support.

Because of your support, we were able to win some awards with this podcast in the past year.

And be sure to stick around for the conversation we have after the episode.

There's a famous short story by an Irish writer named Bob Shaw called Light of Other Days.

An unhappily married couple are driving through the countryside when they spot a sign ahead.

Slow glass, quality high.

Price is low.

J.R. Hagan was a glass farmer.

You just have to go with it. It's a story. He said his glass was

10 years thick and in perfect phase. And here's what that meant. It meant it took 10 years for light

to pass through it. Hagan's slow glass allowed a person to enjoy the view from a decade earlier.

Most people bought these special windows so they could enjoy nature.

The slow glass windows got the nickname Seendos.

People would park them in front of some spectacular natural scenery for a year or so,

then installed them in their dim urban apartments.

Scenes of dirty skylines or brick walls were replaced with waterfalls and

woodlands, that sort of thing.

Or, you could do what Hagen, the glass farmer, did.

What his slow glass revealed was a woman and a child, moving through the living room

of his tiny cottage.

The story ends with the farmer gruffly trying to explain.

It wasn't my fault.
