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 filmmaker and producer Dan Merchant. Since Dan is one of the creative minds behind SyFy's new zombie show Z-Nation, he reveals to us the guts of how TV shows get made. Needless to say, Dan leaves us hungry for more. So let this episode blow up your brain!
