"A mamlish memento"/"A less mamlish memento."

It's a podcast in 2 forms! 

Topics: "A transgender writer dies, 2 Latin words, a little Shakespeare, a Bible story about Hell, a NYT spelling game, the bad word 'nappy,' the mysterious word 'mamlish,' what’s new in Pompeii, the desire for a crisply clear election result, and the love of a soft misty morning." 

The first form — "A mamlish memento" — has music! 3 full-length songs. But you can only listen to this on Spotify — here. Consider subscribing! 

The second form has the music left out, so I'm calling it "A less mamlish memento," and you can listen here: 

That has me mentioning the music that's about to play. I was learning how the music function works. I'm not sure many people want the intrusion of music, so it was just an experiment.
