Falling ill on a journey my dreams go wandering over withered fields. youcannotpodcast@gmail.com https://twitter.com/ColbyHesseltine https://twitter.com/birth_of_cool

Inhale, exhale Forward, back Living, dying: Arrows, let flown each to each Meet midway and slice. The void in aimless flight -- Thus I return to the source.

A small night storm blows Saying 'falling is the essence of a flower' Preceding those who hesitate.

Several characters get got in varying fashion. They are mourned.

Shinji goes subconscious. Misato takes it poorly. The You Can [Not] Podcast observes. "Pippa's Song," from Pippa Passes by Robert Browning http://www.bartleby.com/101/718.html "Sex and the Single Cyborg," by Sharalyn Orbaugh http://traffic.libsyn.com/youcannotpodcast/Sex_and_the_Single_Cyborg.pdf

Staring grimly, the proud runner Achilles answered, "Beg no more, you fawning dog--begging me by my parents! Would to god my rage, my fury would drive me now to hack your flesh away and eat you raw-- such agonies you have caused me! Ransom? No man alive could keep the dog-packs off you, not if they haul in ten, twenty times that ransom and pile it here before me and promise fortunes more-- no, not even if Dardan Priam should offer to weigh out your bulk in gold! Not even then will your noble mother lay you on your deathbed, mourn the son she bore... The dogs and birds will rend you--blood and bone!"

Shinji turns tragic. Note: Colby wishes to exchange "Patton" for "Joan of Arc." (A further note: the audio went wonky on us for this episode. While the fullest effort has been made to remedy these errors, the You Can [Not] Podcast regrets any remaining discrepancies.)

A new pilot enters the fold. "Sunday Morning," Wallace Stevens https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poetrymagazine/poems/13261/sunday-morning "Sheltered Garden," H. D. https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/48189/sheltered-garden "Walking Around," Pablo Neruda https://www.poets.org/poetsorg/poem/walking-around (A note: the audio went wonky on us for this episode. While the fullest effort has been made to remedy these errors, the You Can [Not] Podcast regrets any remaining discrepancies.)

Fortuna's Whyle turns.

A sprawling episode of the You Can [Not] Podcast, Colby and Asher speak to the Mad Lad's rampant espionage, Misato's deep emotional problems and the whiplash induced by quality storytelling. Long for the sound of others' podcasts.
