Better late than never, it’s Episode 9, wherein we hear Eberhard the German’s description of his own doomed conception, after a fashion, by which he introduces his handbook of Latin composition, the Laborintus.
This episode’s text:

As an English teacher myself I can’t help but laugh at the font of tears. My students surely may think that about their textbooks. I have a couple of questions for you, though I’m aware you may not delve this deeply back in the comments. Do your students listen to your podcast?
Secondly, I came here not originally not as a teacher of grammar but as a tabletop roleplaying game master (i.e. Dungeons and Dragons). I wonder if there isn’t a segment of your fan base that is interested in medieval weirdness from that standpoint?
