TSOTAL - Episode 7: Quitting

Maybe it’s too foreign to me but Quitting is the weakest episode of TAL that I have heard. The lead story covers a woman who edits a ‘zine called Quitters Quarterly and the niche demographic for this magazine is as far removed from my lifestyle as this episode. Although I am proud to call Austin my home, particularly for the overwhelming numbers of devoted slackers, I just can’t get behind the idea of focusing on “the quit” or glorifying it. I will note, however, that one of my prized CDs is featured in this episode. Shut Up, Little Man is a set of recordings of two bickering old men that is almost unlistenable but can draw you in with it’s wretchedness. At least they never quit, though.
