Go Set a Watchman with Megan Tietz

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.
