Classic texts, contemporary novels, poetry, professional and personal development books — all things books and reading. On the podcast, I break down texts, analyze important passages, discuss central themes, and and other juicy things you likely won't learn in a textbook. Other episodes will feature me (and hopefully a few others!), discussing teaching and learning and how to make both a bit more manageable and fun. This is an educational and literary podcast in which we will dig into the context and content of various literary pieces. The goal of this podcast: read and learn!

Episode 15: Poetry - Nourish Your Soul with “Wild Geese” by Mary Oliver
<p>In the first episode of our new series, all about Poetry, we look at my favorite poem: "Wild Geese" by Mary Oliver. With deceptive simplicity, Oliver's poem releases readers of their guilt and worries, and offers them a safe place to rest. All this, while reminding audiences of an instinctive and necessary imperative: heed the call of life, of the world. </p> <p>Listen in as we review the beauty of the poem through an approachable investigation of this work: the meaning, structure, poetic techniques, and favorite lines. </p> <p>Want more? Check out <a href="https://letters-leaves.com/podcast/">letters-leaves.com</a> for all the goods, included a hand-illustrated printable of this poem!</p> <p>-------</p> <ul> <li>Song: DayFox - Lioness (Instrumental)</li> <li>https://soundcloud.com/dayfox/dayfox-lioness-instrumental-vlog-version</li> <li>Creative Commons — Attribution 3.0 — CC BY 3.0</li> <li>Free Download: <a href="https://musiclib.net/2Mck2GO">https://musiclib.net/2Mck2GO</a></li> <li>Music promoted by Music Library –</li> <li><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UkGASPkDpGE">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UkGASPkDpGE</a></li> </ul>

Episode 14: The Odyssey - Vengeance with a Side of Vengeance
<p>In this episode, we see the conclusion and culmination of Odysseus’ homecoming. All of the foreshadowing we’ve talked about, and the justice we’ve yearned to see, comes about, and then some! It’s really quite intense. There is no mercy, there are no pardons. There is only Odysseus and Athena, and their sidekicks Telemachus and Eumeaus, raining down justice and vengeance on the suitors… and on others. We see the epic end to this epic tale.</p> <p>----<br> Music Used in this Podcast:<br> Track: Odessa — LiQWYD & Scandinavianz [Audio Library Release]<br> Music provided by Audio Library Plus<br> Watch: <a href="https://gate.sc/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fyoutu.be%2FjNy-Dp3lgcg&token=fb13b0-1-1605286416942" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">youtu.be/jNy-Dp3lgcg</a><br> Free Download / Stream: <a href="https://gate.sc/?url=http%3A%2F%2Falplus.io%2Fodessa&token=f6de81-1-1605286416942" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">alplus.io/odessa</a></p>
