S4 Episode 158 - Epilogue
Episode 158
Tuesday, 6 October, 2026
It appears that Clyde has finally met his end as we begin today's episode of "Obscure." When we began "An American Tragedy," it was, I admit, with some trepidation. I purchased it at a bookshop in London, where we were living for a few months a couple years and change ago. The trepidation was about the size of the damned thing. A veritable tome! I knew then that it would be a yearslong project, and so it has been. Thanks to all of you for staying with me all the way to the book's (and Clyde's) end.Support Obscure!Read Michael's substackFollow Michael on TwitterFollow Michael on InstagramSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
