In this fourth episode, Steve and Drew discuss Gerard Manley Hopkins's poem "As Kingfishers Catch Fire," examples of antiphony in music (including Andrew Peterson's "Is He Worthy?"), the collaborative-yet-fragmented nature of meme culture, the inescapable human characteristic of resonance, and much more.
