Podcast – Kristi Brooks

Today I decided to read my short story, Imposed Constructs. It was about an idea I had about the cycle of life and maybe the end of the universe and the beginning being the same black hole. A scientist recently proposed a similar idea and so I thought I would share my story. It's one of my favorites. Enjoy!

In this podcast I'm going to talk about theoretical physicist Fritz Zwicky and his ability to use his imagination to think outside of the box and how that type of creative use of imagination ties into humanity as a whole and how we process the chaos of life.

A look at Plato's Allegory of the Cave, and the cyclical nature of humanity throughout history.

This podcast will take a critical look at the novel Jane Eyre and the way in which women were viewed in the 1800’s and the influence that had over the author’s description of her characters and how that might have impacted the narrative of the story.

A look at Bram Stoker’s development of the vampire mythos, including the historical time period he was living in, and people that he drew inspiration from as well as open ended questions in the manuscript and the importance of fan fiction in advancing the significance of this work.

Hey, welcome to my quirky world where literature intersects history, and we look at all of this through both a modern and a historical lens.
