Episodes
Episode 89: Reality Bites Nicely, Take Two
Recast of Episode 2 where I made a case for Gustave Flaubert’s classic work Madame Bovary.
Episode 88: Mister Kurtz, I Presume
Joseph Conrad’s work Heart of Darkness is the case this week, but I somehow added more love for T.S. Eliot and Hunter S. Thompson.
Episode 87: Episode 1 Redo!
I’m going back and redoing some of my earlier episodes, improving and adding a bit. Today’s is Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451!
Episode 86: Wrong Translation!
I read the wrong translation! Oh well, we’re still going to talk about the woman who wrote this work, The Tale of Genji, and about the time in Japanese history that it represents. Good trivia here!
Episode 85: So Much Man, So Little Time
In honor of Black History Month, I talk about Frederick Douglass and, like, a fraction of his accomplishments. He was incredible.
Episode 84: The Haunting of Shirley
Shirley Jackson is the whole case this week. I’ve found that not only do I need to read more of her work, I also need to read a biography on her as well!
Episode 83: North of Hell, South of Heaven
North and South by Elizabeth Gaskell is a great British book that has nothing to do with the American Civil War…I now know. But it’s a fantastic read that I’m glad I found.
Episode 82: Ah, That’s Tennyson!
I’m back on poetry this week and I discuss Alfred, Lord Tennyson and his works.
Episode 81: The State of the Podcast
With the New Year still fresh and shiny, I’m just doing a simple episode talking about the state of this humble little podcast.
