The latest podcast came out yesterday an is literally full of possibilities.
There are unlimited stories that can be told, but the environment in which they are being presented keeps getting richer and more fully realized.

So a couple of things have caught my attention. When the Librarian knocks on the door it sounds like Morse code. I have a possible word with an extra letter - this could mean that there is no message....that it is part of a message that will be continued in the next episode or that I have the breaks between letters wrong.
Next is the several references to cartographers.
Finally, there is the part of the talk that says something along the lines of you need to "spot the differences" and analyze story components against each other. Also there is the comment as to figuring out who to trust and not to trust and change that as the story reveals more. That reminds me of Patel and the Curator.

The whole issue of spirits talking through mediums seems right up the puzzling alley as well. I have combinations of the morse, not totally sure where the breaks are, though. It sounds like it could be a couple of things.

If you click on the title of this episode here: borrowings.theboundlesslibrary.com/episodes, the page URL reveals an alternate title of "no-no-no-thats-not-how-it-went". The description of the episode is intriguing: "Today, the Librarian of Ellipses and Elliptical Storytelling investigates this episode, in which the Librarian of the Beginnings Catalogue will discover this episode, in which stories containing multiple narratives shape this episode, in which parallel storytelling juxtaposes conflicting versions of the same episode." Is the final word of this description, "episode", a typo and supposed to read "story", or are they using the word "episode" in the context of "part of a larger story", or are there actually multiple versions of a podcast episode?

The part that got me was the part where "the Librarian of Clark's Three Laws walks in to, and then out of, a potentially harrowing discussion" That goes back to me thinking that his knocking and then his footsteps leaving and the door shutting were Morse. I did actually get three words that make sense but it would be an incomplete sentence...maybe more to come?

I will say that this podcast has prompted me to buy Faulkner's book. With the time I have now with being stuck inside. I will have time to read it.

Perhaps I will do the same. Although with some trepidation, as I was traumatized by The Sound and the Fury earlier in my life. I read every word of it and my brain has never been the same since.😊

Well, I read As I Lay Dying. It was an interesting book filled with suffering, selfishness, selflessness, intrigue and scandal. It was written in Stream of Consciousness, with the story being related by multiple actors. Sometimes, I found it difficult to remember to whom I was “listening” but I preserved. It was a good read. I recommend it
