from the the podcast in which I read Judeo obscure out loud and comment on it as I go.

I am your host your friend, your literary Mansplanainer in chief Michael Ian Black and everything old is new again

here on the Old is new. here.

Everything is reverting to form.

Sue is going back to Philits in.

Jude is alone.

Arabella has her eyes on something or someone.

We think we know who, and everybody's kind of where they were, but only sadder,

which is, of course, as it should be in Jude the obscure.

Everything is always terrible in this world of Wessex and we like it that way.

I was away for a little while,

you wouldn't know it because these episodes come out weekly,

but I've been traveling.

I was in Northern California, I was in Northern California I was in Southern California I was in Oregon you can't say

Oregon there because they get upset with you when you do so. So I have been

traveling you know my own my own little Wessex County if Sonoma so Sonoma kind of can be Mary Green in a way because it is agricultural there.

It is still a farming community. They farm grapes and they farm wealth. That is

what they farm there in Sonoma. And like in Mary Mary Green there's always tumult there's always

change two years ago there was a big fire there that's that's a little

tumult and then I made my way south to Los Angeles for work and you could easily call Los Angeles the Christ

Minster for the showbiz set because look it's where people go to make it.

You know what I mean?
