Al Handa discusses the Orwell compilation of essays and letters,  "An Age Like This:  Vol. 1," using his own book "Delta Snake Anthology Vol. 1" as the primary commentary.

The discussion goes where it leads in this live format. The episode is one take, no editing except adding some original music in the background in the beginning.
