July 3rd Episode of On The Road With Al and Ivy: why many experts on ethnic cultures only know that they've read and what they subconsciously project.

Host Al Handa riffs on three books; Black Elk Speaks, Last Of The Mohicans, and The Secret History Of The Lord Of Musashi. The discussion is about the difference between the interpretation of an ethnic work or society by a Westerner as opposed to a member of the culture being profiled.

Note: The podcast is a first take, unedited recording with unfiltered commentary. Candid observations, controversial views and even mistakes are not edited out or modified.

Orwell called Henry Miller's writing style "A Mickey Mouse Movie," but meant it as a compliment. Al Handa discusses Orwell as an essayist and reviewer, discussing the Orwell compilation of essays and letters, "An Age Like This: Vol. 1," and using his own book "Delta Snake Anthology Vol. 1" as the primary commentary. However, the discussion goes where it leads in this live format. The episode is one take, no editing except adding some original music in the background in the beginning.
