It's time to answer the call. Join us as we ask that age old question: "Can anything good come from evolutionary theory?" Short answer...No. But we can learn a lot about the implications of Social Darwinism from Jack London's classic work, the Call of the Wild. It's a story of grit, violence and finding what it means to be truly human through the eyes of a pup named Buck. Hitch up your dog sled and mush with us through the wilds of the Alaskan wilderness in search of the gold in the darkness of this tale.

Intro Poem:

"The Snowstorm" by Ralph Waldo Emerson, 1841

Do you feel the deep, primal urge to go treasure hunting or pirating? Do you want to play hooky from your overbearing schoolmaster? Or perhaps you feel, like most boys, the joyful desire to fake your own death to win fame? Us too. Join us as we dive into Mark Twain's The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and celebrate all the peculiarities of that special time known as "boyhood."

Intro Poem:

"The Barefoot Boy" by John Greenleaf Whittier, 1855

If you enjoy podcasts about books featuring happy children whom nothing bad ever happens to and stories that feature happy endings then I'm sorry to say this episode is not for you. But, if you enjoy podcasts about books featuring orphans whom nothing good ever happens to over the span of 13 novels, then push play dear listener. But we would understand if you would rather pause instead and listen to something happier.
