Ep 186: A QWERTYUIOP of the Mind
(The SLEERICKETS logo, a skeleton smoking a cigarette)
SLEERICKETS is a podcast about poetry and other intractable problems.
NB: Jonathan helpfully pointed out that Lincoln was (obviously) re-elected in 1864. In my defense, Google was very easily convinced that it was 1863 and readily supplied me with a date in November of that year.
