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 welcome back New York Times Bestselling author Julianna Baggott to discuss her poignant, funny, powerful and spiritual new book, HARRIET WOLF'S SEVENTH BOOK OF WONDERS. We touch on everything from writing the Other to the nature of love and story to the mysterious blessing of parenthood.
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!
