So far, 50/50
I listened to the Camus’ The Plague episode and enjoyed it. I thought I had found a great new podcast aligned to my interests. Then I listened to the Camus’ The Stranger episode and was frustrated by the manner in which the host described the book to his peers. In his effort to summarize the main character and plot points, he characterized Mersault as a petulant brat rather than as stoic and withdrawn. It is precisely Mersault’s lack of control, misunderstanding of society, emotionless, and indifference that show how he is a stranger to the world. While the host claimed to love the book and convince his friends to do the same, he did the book a disservice…as evidenced by his friends’ takeaway that Mersault was a jerk. I’ll listed to another episode or two to determine whether to subscribe.

I share your sense of humor and I laugh far more than I thought possible while listening to a podcast about classical stuff. Your students are lucky to learn from you! I...Read full review »
