Episode Overview

In the premiere episode of the series, Stewart delves into the intriguing world of toilet books. He explores their origins and the reasons behind their creation. At some point, someone decided that history, fiction, and poetry weren't sufficient, leading to the rise of celebrity biographies, tragic tales, and the works of Dan Brown. Stewart examines various examples of this unique genre, including titles like Asher D’s works and Paddy McGinty’s Goat, and imagines what it would be like if Dan Brown were in a role delivering bad news.
