It's the Judge John Hodgman podcast.

I am bailiff, Jesse Thorne.

With me is Judge John Hodgman.

Jesse, my friend, the holiday season is in full swing.

I want to spread some holiday cheer.

Should we open the members-only mailbag and share some of our most rollicking of letters?

Indeed, we have some of our favorite letters from almost

two years of the members-only mailbag. If you aren't a member, this is some of the stuff that you

have been missing. You can join us any time for $5 a month at maximum fund.org slash join. When you're

a member, you will get access to our entire huge monumental library

of bonus content. As well as our every month members-only mailbag, where we answer any

question you might have or endure any complaint that you might wish to provide us. Up first,

we'll be revisiting a dispute about a Romantasy series that a Max Fund member said made her feral.

Spoiler alert. We have another letter about spoilers. This one from Amy in Alexandria,

Virginia, home of the Birchmere Music Hall. Please, quote, please allow me to spoil the ending of a fantasy novel.

I went feral reading the fourth wing books last December.

My husband Reed agreed to listen to the audiobooks and catch up with me.

But he ran out of steam in the middle of book two, Iron Flame.

No spoilers, but the end of Iron Flame is so juicy.

I was unwell when I hit that last page,

and I am dying to talk about it with Reed,

but he won't listen for more than 15 minutes at a time.
