We can't seem to leave the Dust Bowl era just yet. Battles is back to take us on a very famous quest that Jon only read the Wikipedia page, that allegedly the Coen brothers did not even read but a lot of things match up - Homer's The Odyssey. But they also talk about the movie in general.Battles’ Instagram: @embattzOur Bar Instagram: @ourbarnycCharms 4 Less Instagram/TikTok: @charms4lessseriesPodcast Socials -Email: butasongpod@gmail.comFacebook: @butasongpodInstagram: @butasongpodThreads:
