Zora Neale Hurston Part 1

April 03, 2023 14:14 - 1 hour - 90.7 MB

Gather round, children, for the story of one of the coolest ladies in literary history.   Zora Neale Hurston was born with a thirst for adventure and the confidence to conquer the world, even though at the start of the 1900s, to be both black and a woman seemed a formidable barrier to overcome.   But it didn’t take long for her to make her mark on the world as both a writer during the Harlem Renaissance (her most popular novel is Their Eyes Were Watching God), and an anthropologist, stud...

Lewis Carroll (Alice In Wonderland)

January 30, 2023 09:01 - 1 hour - 110 MB

"Alice in Wonderland" is one of the most-loved children's books of all time, but how much do you know about its creator, Charles Lutwidge Dodgson (AKA Lewis Carroll)? As it turns out, a big part of Carroll's life is so embroiled in controversy that Tyler didn't even have to make up a conspiracy theory about the author.  Hannah read: "The Mystery of Lewis Carroll" by Jenny Wolff Tyler read: "The Story of Alice: Lewis Carroll and the Secret History of Wonderland" by Robert Douglas-Fairhurst...

Mary Shelley, creator of Frankenstein

October 17, 2022 08:12 - 1 hour - 140 MB

If Mary Shelley's life were a book, you'd put it down because it sounds too dramatic and tragic to be believable. By her mid-20s, the creator of "Frankenstein" had run off with a poet, been disowned by her family, lost four children, published a literary masterpiece, and been widowed. Tyler and Hannah spend far too much time ragging on Mary's husband, and Tyler has quite the theory about the deeper meaning behind "Frankenstein."

To Chill A Mockingbird

October 06, 2022 01:33 - 1 hour - 104 MB

Tyler and Hannah have been having a couple hectic weeks, but we're here to bond over our disappointment with "Go Set A Watchman," the book that was marketed as a sequel to Harper Lee's "To Kill A Mockingbird." Tyler bravely disavows racism, Hannah reiterates the necessity of hiring a good editor, and neither one of us can decide whether to recommend reading this book or not.   We also have an exciting announcement!   https://tidd.ly/3BDh4Ul   Submissions for the Halloween flash fiction specia...

Harper Lee ( To Kill a Mockingbird)

September 19, 2022 23:01 - 1 hour - 138 MB

Harper Lee was living the dream in the early 1960s. The first novel she had ever written had been published, become a bestseller, and been awarded the Pulitzer Prize all within a year. Almost overnight she had gone from an anonymous Alabaman to one of the most influential American authors in history. So why, then, didn’t this promising young writer publish anything else after “To Kill a Mockingbird”? Hannah and Tyler examine Lee’s incredible rise to prominence and her withdrawal from the sp...

Sherlock Holmes and the super chill case

September 06, 2022 17:06 - 1 hour - 103 MB

Hannah and Tyler get off topic early and often in this month’s chill episode. But we do try to talk a little more about Arthur Conan Doyle, the Sherlock Holmes adaptations we like and the ones we don’t, and how the mystery genre has changed since Doyle’s time. And we’re surprised and delighted by a poetry submission from longtime friend of the podcast, Bradley Botts.   Thank you to Jake Bassen for our theme song: https://soundcloud.com/jakebassen As well as Cam Clawson, for our Correspond...

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

August 22, 2022 08:03 - 1 hour - 120 MB

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle is best known for creating the iconic character of Sherlock Holmes.

William Shakespeare: Netflix and Quill

July 25, 2022 21:10 - 1 hour - 126 MB

William Shakespeare is the most famous playwright of all time, but his life is largely a mystery. No one wrote about his life when he was alive, and he left few (if any) personal writings and letters behind for historians to study. But Tyler and Hannah still found plenty to discuss during this episode, including Shakespeare's dad's fall from societal grace after being caught trafficking one very controversial material, Shakespeare's marriage to Anne Hathaway, and of course speculation that m...

Brandon Sanderson

June 15, 2022 08:01 - 1 hour - 119 MB

  When Robert Jordan died in 2007, he left the beloved epic fantasy series “The Wheel of Time” incomplete. But a moving eulogy written by emerging fantasy author Brandon Sanderson caught the attention of Jordan’s widow, Harriet McDougal. After reading just a couple chapters of Sanderson’s novel “Mistborn,” McDougal knew she’d found the author to finish her husband’s series. But before Sanderson finished one of the biggest fantasy series of the 21st century, he considered giving up on wri...

May 01, 2022 13:00 - 1 hour - 122 MB

Dan Brown is the author of the bestselling Robert Langdon series, which follows a Harvard professor of symbology who must solve clues and codes in a race against the clock in each installment. Perhaps most famous is "The Da Vinci Code," Brown's first bestselling novel and the one that drew the ire of the Catholic Church. But as Hannah, Tyler, and special guest cohost Aly Fitzgerald learned, Brown's religious views are much more complicated than the prevailing narrative would have you believe...

Fyodor Dostoevsky — How a Political Prisoner and Siberian Exile Became One of Russia’s Most Famous Authors

March 16, 2022 13:34 - 1 hour - 128 MB

Fyodor Dostoevsky (1821-1881) is one of Russia's most acclaimed writers. His most famous novels include Crime and Punishment, The Idiot, Demons, and The Brothers Karamazov. Although Dostoevsky created many works that were celebrated even within his lifetime, his life was anything but easy. He became orphaned as a teenager, was exiled to Siberia for reading banned materials, and struggled with disastrous spending habits that nearly lost him a decade of his work. Tyler is still on hiatus so H...

February 10, 2022 00:22 - 1 hour - 112 MB

Graduating with from Harvard Medical School would be a career-defining moment for most people, but for Michael Crichton it was merely a footnote on a monumental creative legacy.

September 29, 2021 13:00 - 1 hour - 102 MB

Lauren Coontz is an Army veteran who studied anthropology in college before deciding to become a journalist. She’s also a fairy tale enthusiast, which is what we planned to spend the bulk of the episode discussing, but we went off on a million tangents including human sacrifice, her least favorite sergeant and his inappropriate shorts, and how prosecutors may have screwed up the investigation into infamous murderer Charles Manson. As a warning, Lauren quite possibly swears more than any gue...

Aesop‘s Fables

September 21, 2021 03:31 - 1 hour - 86 MB

Generations of children have grown up hearing stories like "The Tortoise and the Hare," "The Boy Who Cried Wolf," and "The Ants and the Grasshopper."
