The literature and film podcast makes history this episode by talking about something other than film. That's right, the L-Train and Mr. Two-Frames are talking about literature. Both of our hosts have taught To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee for years. So they were over the moon to get their hands on Go Set a Watchman. This novel was originally written in 1955 by Harper Lee. It has been marketed as both a followup novel to TKAM and a first draft of TKAM. The guys are going to dig into this complicated history and do a little character analysis on this week's show. Did you read Go Set a Watchman?
