Ep 521 - The Indispensable Calvin and Hobbes, by Bill Watterson Mar 07, 2022

Show notes

This week we talk about the 1985-1995 comic strip Calvin and Hobbes by way of the 1992 collection The Indispensable Calvin and Hobbes. The strip is totally inseparable from a discussion of its medium and the merchandising-averse guy who made it.

Ep 519 - The Widows of Malabar Hill, by Sujata Massey Feb 28, 2022

Show notes

This mystery novel featuring Perveen Mistry (get it?) is also an engrossing work of historical fiction. We learn about different religious and family structures in 1920s Bombay, and we also learn about how the story's split timeline impacts the narrative. Also, Cyrus sucks. Boo Cyrus.

We bring our weirdest and most chaotic vibes to our conversation about Black Buck and the forces that inform it, whether that's a bad thing or not is sort of up to you!

Ep 516 - Maus, by Art Spiegelman Feb 07, 2022

Show notes

In response to the McMinn County, TN's unanimous decision to ban Art Spiegelman's Maus from its 8th-grade curriculum last month, we've both re-read the book to encourage a conversation about its continued importance and (sadly) relevance. Also, did you know that Art Spiegelman helped make Garbage Pail Kids?

We've made donations to HIAS Pennsylvania and The Fund for the School District of Philadelphia this week.

Feed Drop: Well-Read Black Girl - Min Jin Lee on Becoming a Writer Feb 03, 2022

Show notes

We're sharing a special preview of the new podcast, Well-Read Black Girl from Pushkin Industries.
Well-Read Black Girl is the literary kickback you never knew you needed. Glory Edim, author and founder of the Well-Read Black Girl community, sits in deep, honest and close conversation with authors like Tarana Burke, Anita Hill, Gabrielle Union, Elizabeth Acevedo and more. You’ll also meet book club members, literacy advocates, and Black booksellers to hear what they’re reading and what it means to be well-read.
In this preview, Glory talks with Korean American author and teacher Min Jin Lee. Min talks about how reading can radicalize young people — in a good way — and how, through storytelling, we can approach a "new reality” by creating a version of the world we want to see.
You can listen to Well-Read Black Girl at https://link.chtbl.com/wrbgoverdue.

Ep 515 - Ratha's Creature (The Named #1), by Clare Bell Jan 31, 2022

Show notes

Clare Bell's novel about prehistoric big cats with language, culture, and fire is also a pretty engrossing adventure about being cast out from your home and discovering the world around you. Time to join the clan of the Red Tongue!

Jagged Little Mill, a Don Quixote miniseries - Episodes 11 & 12 Jan 29, 2022

Show notes

Enjoy another episode of our latest show-within-a-show! We're reading Edith Grossman's translation of Don Quixote by Miguel de Cervantes a few chapters at a time. Some Patreon supporters get these episodes monthly, but every two months we'll combine them for general consumption.

These episodes cover Chapters 27-47 of Part Two.

In Episode 11, Don Quixote and Sancho Panza meet a Duke and Duchess familiar with Quixote's adventures. LARPing and pranks ensue.

In Episode 12, the Duke and Duchess continue to deceive our heroes. There's a wooden horse, a bag of cats, and a governorship (finally).

Find out more about how to get these episodes monthly at patreon.com/overduepod.
