Summary
Where have you gone, Joe DiMaggio? Our podcast turns its lonely ears to you. Woo-woo-ooo
The Graduate is a story about the ennuied Benjamin Braddock, the provocative Mrs. Robinson, and the affair they embark upon that upends their lives. The iconic 1967 film adaptation is perhaps more famous than Webb's book, but the novel does contain all of the classic lines and moments you remember. Even the wedding and the bus at the end!
Our theme music was composed by Nick Lerangis.

| 1:15.2 | at the end of the graduate where we turn off the record button and we're really happy |
| 1:19.4 | for a minute. |
