Content warning: mentions of epistemic violence, kidnapping

Our usual hosts AJ, Alice and Shannen join forces with Gil Vitro (PhD student, UC Santa Barbara) to discuss “The Man of Law’s Prologue” & “Tale”. This tale is a doozy – Custance gets stuck on a boat and gets roped into various adventures involving conversion narratives, conflicts between religions, and a mess of family drama. We discuss the primary text as well as adaptations of it, alongside Better Call Saul, VeggieTales, and discourses around race, gender, and sexuality!
