From the minds behind illuminating conversations such as Things That Suck: A History, and Let's Face It: The World Is Mad, comes a future award-winning podcast offering an interesting, informative, irresistible, irredeemable, irreverent, insolent, and insightful exploration of literary works from a century past. Don't miss our barn-burning, page-turning fun as we find out how or whether these classics hold up after 100 years, and learn about contemporary issues that affected their writing. It's time for the Gutenberg Deep Dive!
