Fat and Thin Discussion + Language Through Literature

A lot happens in this segment. This is the first podcast where we host a guest presenter on our podcast - Tom Besinger, a Russian Literature enthusiast who reached out to us and shared a tool he developed for language learners to read Russian in the original. He explain his site, called LanguageThroughLiterature and even shows how it works. Hint: It features Chekhov stories quite prominently and all our readings are connected to the equivalent entries on this site. LanguageThroughLiterature uses the Imperial Russian ranking system to gamify the learning experience, so we discuss the table of ranks and their modern equivalents. This leads us in to discuss the story "Fat and Thin", to pick apart the caricatured humor in the way the thin man reacts upon learning the high rank of the fat man.
