If the iTunes feed ever goes down, please head over to the Libsyn site for this episode. Literary Links of Interest for this chapter The Lyceum in N&S is a bit like the Oakdale Workmen's Institute at St Fagans in Wales. Luke 16:19–31—iffin you want to read about Lazarus and the Rich Man. In 1799 and 1800 laws that banned unionizing were passed, then repealed in 1824, so there's nothing illegal about what Higgins and the men are doing.
