Join us as we "time travel," using newspapers, and novels to explore what life was like 160 years ago, In the Victorian Era! Each episode will be host banter, narration of a short story, break down of said short story, for you the 21st century listener,
reading the nonfiction section, and then breaking that down, followed by a summary and a relaxing outro.
S3 E Halloween - The Raven - The Philosophy of Composition - The Breakdown
Spooktacular October Ghosties and Ghoulies,
What do you think of first when you hear, “The Raven?”
Fear?
Terror?
The Simpsons?
Death?
Well, we thought of all of those things and more throughout this breakdown episode of “The Raven,” by Edgar Allen Poe. This eerie poem is a rollercoaster of emotions, and can elicit different ones from person to person. The foremost emotion felt by most is that of loss, and mourning. Poe had the intent to elicit dread from the audience, as pointed out in his essay, “The Philosophy of Composition,” produced a year after “The Raven.” Was he defending his own writing, or laying the groundwork to shape future generations of poets?
Find out in this week’s breakdown episode.

S3 E Halloween - The Raven - Edgar Allen Poe
Happy Spooky times to one and all,
This October we shall be narrating American author, Edgar Allan Poe's famously eerie poem “The Raven.” It was published in the New York Evening Mirror On January 29, 1845 and was equally praised and panned by critics of the day. The poem made Poe famous throughout both England and America.
Most everyone already knows of the story, but in rereading, recording, and editing this episode Owen learned many more of the details of the story and has many more questions about it. How good is your knowledge of “The Raven?” Are there any bits that you were surprised by in this week’s episode, upon hearing it anew?
Let us know on social media.
Have a haunted October,
Owen, Daniel, and Kari
