Teacher Talk is a podcast for teachers that offers deep dives into great literature from the perspective of the high school classroom. Join the camaraderie with Paul & Jay and develop with us a simple but substantive classroom pedagogy of reading, writing, and Socratic discussions.

In this episode, Paul and Jay work through the obvious, the subtle and the remarkable in book 18 of Homer's Odyssey. Paul opens with a strangely harmonious poem from the early 20th century poet, Vachel Lindsey.
