Sayers on Trash (Also, Why the 'L'?)

"The Other Six Deadly Sins" and "Why Work?" are two lectures-turned-essays in which Sayers talks about trash, or rubbish. She connects the problem of rusting piles of tin cans  to two problems in man's nature: gluttony and avarice. In doing so, she not only gives us a good lesson, but also teaches us about pre-War and World War II Britain.  Plus, a brief history of why we keep using her middle initial. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/lindsey-scholl/message
