JR. welcomes fellow podcaster Megan Tietz of the Sorta Awesome Podcast to discuss the literary firestorm surrounding Harper Lee’s recently-published Harper Lee’s sequel/prequel to To Kill a Mockingbird. We dive into the complicated publication history, and spend a lot of time on the book’s controversial portrayal of beloved Atticus Finch. Along the way, we reflect on our own histories with the book, race and why this might be the perfect time for us to read the book.
The StoryMen break down the Pop Culture Championship game and predict winners. Then we pose a historical question: If you could change one historical event, what would it be? That leads us into Good Friday conversation about Jesus' death on the cross and the big question: Would we stop it if we could?
The StoryMen make the push for episode 100. We have more guests, bigger episodes and plenty of fodder for the most piercing investigations of history, pop culture and theology yet!
