Social distancing, teleworking, virtual happy hours, and forgetting to hit mute—is Ralph Waldo Emerson the person we need to transcend all this?   This quasi-normal episode gets a little off topic and explores: tiny mammal things; virtual train travel for cool guys; less than horrible elevator music; cider virginity stories; hot and bothered bats; and the erotic lives of America’s nonagenarian intelligentsia.   If you want to skip us catching up and get straight to the book forward to 17:50.
