Bad news: Joss is out for this episode. The good news: we've got our first guest! You can (and should) follow him on Twitter @dkpmason.

Listen to Jacob and Mason chat about "The Jungle," the 1906 work of political fiction by Upton Sinclair.

What would the Biblical story of Job look like in early 1900s Chicago? What's changed, what's stayed the same, and what's sliding backward? Plus, some good tips for staying in shape (hint: don't leave the forests of Lithuania!)

The episode art is a picture of the old muckraker himself. Music by Kevin MacLeod.
