Join your fearless (or perhaps slightly fearful) hosts, Russ, Brent, and Jon, as they delve into the absurdity of everyday life, pop culture, and maybe even some existential dread...with hilarious results (hopefully). Expect sharp(ish) wit, questionable life choices, and enough silliness to melt the stress right off. It's like hanging out with your funniest friends, if your friends were millennials and possibly named Russ, Brent, and Jon.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-07T06:18:56.552285+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-menacing-millennials-6583325"},"episode":{"title":"06/29/2026 - Classical Literature","slug":"06-29-2026-classical-literature","published_at":"2026-06-29T11:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-menacing-millennials-6583325/06-29-2026-classical-literature","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-menacing-millennials-6583325","url":"https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/menacingpodcast/episodes/06292026---Classical-Literature-e3ld6jg","audio_url":"https://anchor.fm/s/e468213c/podcast/play/122116144/https%3A%2F%2Fd3ctxlq1ktw2nl.cloudfront.net%2Fstaging%2F2026-5-28%2F426995540-44100-2-b5987e777a2ac.mp3","summary":"Remember when high school English class meant reading devastating, centuries-old "classical literature" that felt like a mandatory exercise in existential dread? In this episode of the podcast, we dive headfirst into the required reading lists of today’s youth. We look at whether modern students are still being forced to dissect the tragic metaphorical green lights of 1920s billionaires, or if the curriculum has finally evolved past inflicting academic psychological warfare on teenagers. Because we can only handle so much literary analysis, we wrap up the show by pivoting to a beautiful, real-time logistical masterpiece: the absolute obliteration of the Massachusetts alcohol supply. Yes, Scotland’s World Cup fans have descended upon Boston and literally drank the entire city dry of beer. From forcing emergency Samuel Adams shipments to single-handedly threatening the structural integrity of local pubs, the Tartan Army is showing America how a real drinking holiday is done. Grab a cold one (unless you’re currently in Boston, in which case, our condolences) and join us for a healthy dose of millennial sarcasm, required reading hot takes, and international hydration crises.","meta_description":"Remember when high school English class meant reading devastating, centuries-old \"classical literature\" that felt like a mandatory exercise in e…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":2269,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/the-menacing-millennials-6583325/episodes/06-29-2026-classical-literature/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-menacing-millennials-6583325/06-29-2026-classical-literature.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
