Chapter 16 & Chapter 17 - Athenian Law and Enforcing Rules
I was in a rush preparing this, and didn't know until it was too late that this microphone I bought was horrible. Audio-Technica, I know for a fact you can do better, so what the Christian side hug is going on with the ATR2100? Listener, rest assured this is on my remake list, and I just spent good money (though not a lot) on a recording setup that someone actually paid to record stuff might use, so it, like episodes 1-4, will get redone properly. In a perfect world I'd have all the remakes done by the time the last chapter uploads but I cannot be certain that will happen; subsequent uploads will keep you posted on my plans.
The reason I was in a rush preparing this is that I'm giving a talk which features a fair amount of content from this chapter at the megameetup's Unconference on Sunday 12/22 and *really* did not want to miss an upload deadline related to possible new audience while traveling without a laptop. (There are programs available for editing on a phone but I have not yet gotten the hang of using them to the extent that I'm willing dive into a project like this - ~12 hours of editing trying to manually remove pops with Generate Silence was just wretched, and it didn't work anyway). It helped me crystallize the talk itself, which will consist of a meta-level look at what questions this book is trying to make us ask, and which I might upload after the book itself has concluded. I have a project in the works to follow this one, so email me if you'd be interested in a bit part.
