  • 14 - Ep. 11 Bryant revisits Calvin and Hobbes

    The Days are Just Packed by Bill Watterson, came out in 1993. For Bryant, he was collecting as many of these volumes containg the adventures of Calvin and Hobbes as he could. Visual mediums powerfully share big, sometimes uncomfortable, and often whimsical truths. Bryant was drawn to the iconic art and the way Hobbes, Calvin's stuffed tiger, takes on a personality of his own when only Calvin is around. In their adventures, Bryant found wonder and new frontiers through reading. Watterson's two protagonists have a lot to share with us: anoying teachers, big questions in all life stages, and of course -- soaking the next door neighbor with a waterballoon. Join us as we revisit this iconic duo and think back to your own experiences with comics, any that you still remember?

  • 13 - Ep. 10 Rachel Winslow revisits Anne of the Island

    Anne of Green Gables is headed off to higher education in the third book of the series Anne of the Island. Dr. Rachel Rains Winslow quickly identified with articulate ardent Anne, as well as L.M. Montgomery's powerful prose. In this conversation, Rachel and I talk about Anne's community, her famous, but cleverly written relationship with Gilbert Blythe, and how this third book inspired her own views on education, community, and maturation.
