Episode description
Host Chris Wright is going on a magical journey of wonder through the world of podcasting. He first analyzes the jazz standard "Russian Lullaby" by Irving Berlin and its important social and cultural significance. He also compares and contrasts the eugenics movement to contemporary genetic engineering and explains why the two are not the same. Then he asks the question "are we living in the Truman Show?". As per usual, there is some singing as well!
