It’s the second episode of Required Reading with Tom and Stella! This podcast, which is hosted by Tom Panarese (Pop Culture Affidavit, In Country, Taking Flight) and Stella (Batgirl to Oracle: A Barbara Gordon Podcast, The Batman Universe) is two teachers talking about literature. Each episode, we will be taking a look at a single work, analyzing it, criticizing it and deciding if it’s worth its place in the canon.


This time around, we will be looking at Tennessee Williams’ play The Glass Menagerie, a story of a mother clinging to outdated ideas, a son who seems to long to be elsewhere, a daughter who is as fragile as the glass animals that she collects, and the spectre of a father who looms over them.
