This episode introduces listeners to Walt Whitman, "America's World Poet." Listen to Whitman's poem, "Beginning My Studies," along with a short description of his life and a discussion of the language he uses. Beginning my studies, the first step pleas’d me so much,
 The mere fact, consciousness — these forms — the power of motion, 
The least insect or animal — the senses — eyesight — love; 
The first step, I say, aw’d me and pleas’d me so much, 
I have hardly gone, and hardly wish'd to go, any farther, 
But stop and loiter all the time, to sing it in ecstatic songs.

In this episode two people are looking at a photo album and talk about the people in the photos.
