Episode 84: Litost

Post-Rock Paper Scissors is a twice-a-week podcast about post-rock and all things tangentially related.

Today's show is the sixteenth episode of our untranslatable series. Our word today is "litost", which is a state of agony and torment created by the sudden sight of one's own misery.
