Listener, have you ever been violently ambivalent about a work? So overwhelmed by your lack of ability to come up with a sensible reading that you doubt your own ability even to take a side? Well, we have… So here’s Faust Part 1 part 2! Ummm… maybe put the kids to bed for this one. We get a little rowdy and very raunchy. But it’s not us, we swear! It’s Goethe making us contemplate the metaphysics of blueballing! In any case, if you have listeners under 18 or are listening to this in the office, maybe just put the headphones on. And if Goethe gets you interested in things Germanic beyond just the literary, check out what Travis and Pete get up to at Podcastnik.com. Podcastnik puts out the History of Germany, a podcast about… well, the history of Germany. They also produce the Youtube show Past Access and the podcast The Secret Cabinet, a personal favorite about some of the weirder aspects of history. You can find them at Podcastnik.com. If you’re online check us out at thecanonballpodcast.wordpress.com, find us on Facebook @TheCanonBallPodcast, and on Twitter @CanonBallPod. The Canon Ball is a member of the Agora podcast network.
