This week we discuss the one and only Yoko Ono, a Japanese multimedia artist, singer, songwriter, and peace activist in her own right. We talk about how she was perceived by Beatles fans, the media, and those around her. Then we address rumors about her relationship with John Lennon and, more importantly, her art. But of course, as always, we also talk about the truth beneath those rumors. Finally we wrap up with the impact that Ono has had on the art and music world in recent years.

9. Lydia Bennet

In this week's episode we discuss a second fictional character. This time we talk about Ms. Lydia Bennett from Jane Austen’s novel Pride and Prejudice. We provide a brief summary of the book and author, then discuss how Lydia is represented in the novel (and certain film adaptations). We also investigate how she was perceived by her sisters, her parents, and society at large. Then we talk about some of the reasons Lydia might have acted the way she did, considering what might have been going on in her head, but more importantly, how society and those around her affected her decisions in life. Finally we wrap up with what we think Lydia represents when we look beyond her categorization as a silly teenage girl.
