    Episode 3: The Cabbage Heard Everything

    In this episode, Seraphino takes aim at one of modern society's most baffling trends: the public speakerphone conversation. What was once a private discussion has somehow become a live performance for everyone within earshot. From grocery store family drama to videos played at maximum volume in waiting rooms, Seraphino explores the slow collapse of public etiquette and wonders if technology has simply given annoying people more efficient ways to be annoying. The tomatoes didn't ask to be part of the conversation. Neither did the rest of us.

    Episode 1: Everyone Hath a Podcast

    In his inaugural broadcast to the masses, Seraphino Aurelius Belladonna confronts a troubling modern phenomenon: everyone appears to have a podcast. Merchants have podcasts. Bakers have podcasts. Men who own three microphones and a vague sense of confidence have podcasts. Even people who already possess other podcasts have somehow acquired additional podcasts. As Seraphino investigates this curious epidemic of public speaking, he raises important questions. Why are podcasts named after a device no longer sold? Who is listening to all of these programs? And at what precise point did every citizen decide that their thoughts required distribution to the entire world? Naturally, Seraphino concludes that his own discourse is entirely different and should not be confused with the common podcast, despite all available evidence suggesting otherwise. Join him for an exploration of modern media, unwarranted self-expression, and the increasingly difficult task of finding someone who does not host a podcast.
