Questioning the Canon

De: Ben Rathert Felicia Dieguez
  • Sumário

  • A little podcast that loves big books. You don't need to have read with us to enjoy the show as we always do a synopsis of the work as well as dive into the life and times of the author behind it. Our conversations vary and roam, but we always have a good time asking if each book we cover should be included in "the canon" of important novels. Our show icon is by Jeremy Kanne at Smart Yeti.

    Welcome to our house...Hop a train with us to far off Carpathia and dank dark evils of Castle Dracula as we explore what made this 1897 novel such an enduring story through the years. We spend extra time talking about all things medical and what Bram Stoker may have been trying to say about women in the Victorian society he lived in. We drank our fill on the biggest movies the feature the dear count as well and had a bloody good time doing it. Listen to us, the podcasters of the night...

  • High Fidelity
    Sep 7 2024
    Have you ever gone back to really examine something you loved when you were younger? This month we dig into our record collection and put a fresh spin on Nick Hornby's 1995 novel High Fidelity. The movie of this film from 2000 made a big impact on me in high school, so much so that I didn't even realize how much I thought about it in my day to day life. We have a compilation of takes on the book, including why I think the protagonist Rob struggles so much. Make sure you turntable speed is set to 33 RPM, this is definitely and LP.

  • The Wonderful Wizard of Oz
    Aug 3 2024
    Here we go! In this hot, stormy summer weather, we've decided to take a field trip to Oz and explore the 1900 book the Wonderful Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum. Of course we cover the 1939 movie as well and we found we had a A LOT to say about it and other related projects. If you want to learn about the life of Baum and even what poppy plants are famous for, we've got all of that packed up and ready for you. Come on and get inside, I see a twister comin'.
