- Mail Bag #1
Today we'll be looking into the mailbag for the first time, and I'm super excited. Three listeners reached out to share their thoughts about The Awakening, and I can't wait to hear what they have to say. So, please, pull up a chair by the fire and let's open these envelopes.
Special Thanks to Head Librarian, Jeff Seplak!!!

26 min - Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, Part 4
Today we'll conclude our discussion of the classic 14th century epic poem, Sir Gawain and the Green Knight. Does the poem hold up? Can it still possibly matter to us now, asking and answering questions that we still have as individuals and communities? We'll talk about that, and more, so, please, pull up a chair by the fire, and let's finish our conversation.

31 min - Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, Part 1
Alright, let's go back in time, way back, to when English didn't sound quite the same as it does today. Ah, here's something, an early 14th-century epic poem romance written by an anonymous poet. Looks promising. So, please, pull up a chair by the fire and let's begin our look at the bizarre and wondrous tale, Sir Gawain and the Green Knight.

35 min - Bonus Episode #1: "The Tyger"
This month, we're blessed to have 5 Fridays, so today's is a bonus episode. I'm going to do this from time to time, and today makes sense because we're about to start a new book next week, and it's better not to break it up. These bonus episodes will be more brief than the normal ones, and they'll allow us to discuss shorter works, like stories and poems. So, pour yourself a glass and join me by the fire for a brief chat, as we read and talk a little about William Blake's "The Tyger".
