Recorded 3 Oct 2010
Babblers: Bjorn, Lone, Marcel, Donny

Synopsis:

This episode was very long in production. The subject matter required many years of marinating, for the ideas to germinate, etc, etc. The crew discusses the Nobel Prize for Literature… for 2010. 🙂

p.s None of us were even close. Mario Vargas Llosa was the winner. Hey, it hardly counts as a spoiler when it’s almost 4 years ago.
