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 Mark Salomon, lead singer of Stavesacre, Outer Circle, Neon Horse, White Lighter and more. We find out how Mark got into faith and music, and what it was like to be in the Christian music scene. Mark tells us how his new podcast, NEVER WAS... is the sequel to Simplicity and what to expect from future music projects.
