About this listen

Steve doesn't like the story about the alcoholic poet who is brought against his will up to see the volcano. The volcano, and the poet, and the other characters, and the situation, are kind of metaphors for this or that, and Steve doesn't like metaphors. Steve does like the other story though, the non-metaphorical thriller about a bunch of doped out amateur drug smugglers who are just not really pulling it off on their sailboat in the Caribbean Sea. Kelly likes all the stories in Robert Stone's "book of a lifetime," Bear and His Daughter, but then again, Kelly's a professor, and as such, unreliable and unrelatable. Whether you're a Stone superfan or never heard of the guy, there's plenty here for you in this contentious episode.
