It’s time to pull back the curtain and learn about the book that inspired one of the most beloved films of all time. People have ascribed many meanings to The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, and in this episode, we put on our conspiracy theory (golden) caps and explore all the possibilities. Is it true that L. Frank Baum was writing about turn-of-the-century populism and monetary policy? Or Buddhism? Or drugs? Why is this book considered the first feminist American children’s book? And what is a Tin Man, anyway? Listen to learn the answers to all these questions, and more!
