Excellent Discussions on Great Works of Lit and Film
This is one of the great podcasts of my experience. Wes Alwan, a philosopher, and Erin O'Luanaigh, a teacher and poet, are the two amiable, intelligent, and deeply thoughtful hosts who guide the listener on a discussion of some of the great works of literature and film. The hosts discuss the selected work of the show from several angles — the psychological, the philosophical, and the aesthetics — as well as providing historical and background context. This description makes the show seem dry when it is quite the opposite; it is lively, funny, and deeply thoughtful, insightful, and intelligent. I am always learning new things even about works with which I am very familiar. The two hosts have carefully researched and prepared for the show, and there is really no wasted time. I cannot recommend this podcast highly enough — knowledgeable, astute, and entertaining. I hope you get a chance to check it out.Read full review »

They have intelligent things to say about the possible meanings and interpretations of texts. Deeper and more personable than most such podcasts. Most crucial is that both their voices are soothing and resonant.

Normally love and look forward to the podcast but the Network episode was unlistenable. Discussion was rambling and without the analysis and deep insight that I’ve come to expect, especially given media history and the current cultural moment. A big miss for me.

This podcast honestly intrigued me so much, and the hour felt like it was 10 minutes. I listened to pride and prejudice and it was fantastic! I highly recommend others listen to it also. It is my favorite by far. Easy 5 stars!
