Podcast #3

Show recap:Main topic, with special guest Mr. Kidd: Southern Literature and the Gothic Literary TraditionMr. Kidd reads the following definition of Southern Gothic literature from The Companion to Southern Literature:Many Southern Gothic tales utilize similar myths of Southern society: an inbred patriarchal plantation aristocracy, built upon and haunted by a racist ethic, besieged by civilization and democracy, and ultimately defeated as much by its own intransigence as by external forces, and an inbred lower class living in extreme isolation in closed communities, which are plagued by economic impoverishment, educational ignorance, religious fundamentalism, racial intolerance, genetic deformities, perverted sexuality, and unrequited violence.Mr. Kidd references Samuel Taylor Coleridge’s “Kublai Khan,” Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, the Goths, and Edgar Allan Poe.Mystery Guest Reader:Rookie mistake… I fail to mention in the podcast that the reading comes from page 106 of the novel.Frequently Asked Question: What’s up with Mrs. Dubose and the alarm clock?Listen for an explanation of how the alarm clock means more than “time to go” in the Mrs. Dubose scenes.Today’s Music:In the intro of today’s podcast is “Fiction” by The Concretes from their album The Concretes in Colour. Beck’s “Strange Apparition” (yay thematic music!) from The Information.

I know I'm not your intended audience but I was looking for the "To Kill a Mockingbird" audiobook and I found this. I was wondering what the "cootie" was in Burris Ewell's hair (I was confused, I thought it was a mouse) and why Scout and Jem called Atticus "Atticus" instead of father, or dad, as you say. Your insight cleared that up for me, so, thank you! You are very well-spoken and the podcast is well-made. Good job!

Thank you!
