Join Amy and special guest Zach for a chat about A Midsummer Night's Dream by our boy, Willy Shakes, and Sandman #19: A Midsummer Night's Dream by our other boy, Neil Gaiman!

We chat about Song of Myself, a poem that was new to both of us! Pop by for great essay ideas like: Is Walt Whitman a manic pixie dream boy? and; How is your identity like a timbit?

This week we talk about Margaret Atwood's Oryx and Crake, including hot takes such as: exploitation is bad, the humanities matter, and your teen's internet activity might be able to tell you if they're a psychopath. Chantelle also speaks out in defense of sci fi. (Did it need to be defended? Let's find out.)

This week we talk about a very famous work of fanfiction about... wait for it... the Bible. That's right, folks, it's time for John Milton's Paradise Lost! Sit back, enjoy, and avoid the forbidden snacks.

We celebrate our listeners' writing! And then we demolish Chantelle's silly middle school poems and Amy's sad high school poems. Content warnings embedded in the episode for mentions of depression, death, and suicide.

We tackle Shakespeare's longest play, which is about... not much, actually. Find out why we're not fans of Hamlet (the character) or Hamlet (the play). Content warnings for parental death, suicide, and "madness" as a literary trope.

In our first listener-chosen episode, we talk about World War I poem There Will Come Soft Rains by Sara Teasdale, with a special appearance of There Will Come Soft Rains by Ray Bradbury. Content warning for war and violence. 

This is Uncited, the internet's least reliable English lit podcast. We're two reformed English majors and former roommates discussing literary works from our undergrad and beyond. We hope you'll give us a try!
