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 author (and JR.'s old friend) Erin Davis. Her new book, CONNECTED, explores our need for relationships. We talk about how to figure out if you're lonely, the cure for business, and what a Sabbath really looks like. Also that time JR. almost killed a kid. By accident, mostly.
