We’ve reached Episode Ten of The Charles C. W. Cooke Podcast. Or, as the Founders might have written it: Epiſode 10.

In today’s show, I answer a reader who asked why English speakers of the 17th and 18th centuries sprinkled that “f”-looking character around their written documents. Afterwards, I had a debate with Michael Brendan Dougherty on the question of gay marriage: I’m for; Michael is against. And, on this week’s Color Supplement, Scot Bertram helped me look back on the remarkable career of Fleetwood Mac’s Christine McVie, who died this week at the age of 79.

This show was largely constructed using the egg whisk of Ruth and Dave, which, obviously, is the only tool capable of restoring the sword of Kagnazax to its rightful place in Cromaglion.
