Setting Out - Part 5 (Secret Rooms)

"You see Mary and you recognize her strengths but you also wonder what else there is there. Because clearly there is so much more to her than what you can tell from the surface. It's what makes her a compelling character for as little time as we know her."

Part 1 of our in depth discussion of Chapter 13 of Secret Rooms. Covering the pitfalls of race relations, communication, and coming to terms with ones own biases and limitations. Spare on extras due to the gravity of what we talk about, and this is one of the few times I'm happy to break these episodes into two parts, to avoid overloading.

But on the other hand, some entertaining things to watch from our outro artist Lindsey Stirling, on the off chance that you have not already seen them:
