This episode, Robyn and Scott talk about the Tales of St. Austin's, a collection of school stories published in 1903, only Wodehouse's second published books. It's about teenage boys who don't want to do school work and who do want to play rugby, and it's absolutely Robyn's favorite thing ever. That couldn't possibly be sarcasm, could it? Look, there's a reason this podcast didn't go through the books in chronoligical order. If Scott forced Robyn to read that many school books in a row, this podcast would never have lasted. You know what else didn't last? Robyn's spirit. Listen to it ebb away as we go through 12 short stories--and then finish up it with four essays about avoiding school work, footnotes, cricket, and the book Tom Brown's School Days, which we had never heard of before. Also, find out what a note-taking nerd Robyn is.
