Towards the end of this rather long episode, you might hear some banging in the background, which was coming through the wall from one of Charles Adrian\\u2019s neighbours. Apologies for this.

Correction: When Charles Adrian talks about spondees in this episode, he should be talking about trochees. You can read about trochees on Wikipedia here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trochee and about spondees here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spondee. Also, the book by James Frey that Charles Adrian calls A Thousand Tiny Little Pieces is in fact called A Million Little Pieces.
