S2E35 -Chapter Thirty-Five: Tall Tales and Lusty Legends!

On GARGANTUA and PANTAGRUEL, by Francois Rabelais

Let's go back, back, to a time when giants walked the Earth...probably doing something filthy. In this episode of What Mad Universe?!? we look at the oldest story yet to be featured on this podcast, a classic of literature contemporary with Don Quixote and Shakespeare, Francois Rabelais' novels about the giants Gargantua and Pantagruel. Lots and LOTS of urination jokes follow. The French, they're classy, right?
