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 kick off Season 5 with a bang! Welcome Nick Cole and Michael Bunker, architects of the mysterious and ambitious Apocalypse Weird universe. Nick and Michael give us a preview of this revolutionary new venture, and give every listener a FREE book. Plus, we all sing the praises of M. S. Corley.
