\\nWhat is an allegory, anyway? This episode probably won't settle that question, but we did manage a discussion on how to use our stories to teach things, or be stand-ins for things, and to do it in the ways that allegories and/or parables might.
\\n
\\nWe talk about some famous allegories, some things whose authors insisted were not allegorical, and the possible pitfalls of didacticism.
