Podcasts about good country people

Flannery O'Connor's fiction has been described as “gothic,” “violent,” “unsentimental,” even “grotesque.” Yet it is also often described as funny. How can both be true? Well in this episode the whole gang is back together to discuss that very question during a live recording that took place at our recent “Close Reads on the Road” event in Concord, NC. So join us as we explore O'Connor's famous story, “Good Country People” and try to ascertain where the humor in her work comes from and why it matters.

Bible Study Don't just take our word for it . . . take His! We would encourage you to spend time examining the following Scriptures that shaped this sermon: Psalm 16, John 6:60–69. Sermon Outline The work of the Spirit The gift of the Father The confession of the Son Sermon Questions Why do many today find Jesus' teaching hard? Jesus is not overwhelmed by the departure of so many disciples. Why not? How should this form our attitudes as Christians? St Augustine wrote, "The member does not live apart from the body." How does this passage illuminate the problems with "loner" Christianity? Judas confessed Jesus to be Messiah — just not the kind of Messiah who would bring His kingdom through crucifixion. How might we (not someone else: we) be tempted to reshape Jesus into the kind of Messiah we would like him to be? In calling Jesus the "Holy One," John presents Jesus as the new altar, the place that God has established for sacrifice to be offered. In being "consecrated" themselves (John 17:17), the disciples are prepared to share Jesus's costly mission. What does sharing this costly mission mean for you today?

Note: This interview was broadcast on the WGBH sister stations WCAI/WNAN, Prairie Public Radio, WABE in Atlanta and on KUT in Austin, Texas. When Helen Vendler was only 13, the future poetry critic and Harvard professor memorized several of Emily Dickinson's more famous poems. They've stayed with her over the years, and today, she talks with ThoughtCast's Jenny Attiyeh about one poem in particular that's haunted her all this time. It's called I cannot live with You- According to Vendler, who has written the authoritative Dickinson: Selected Poems and Commentaries, it's a heartbreaking poem of an unresolvable dilemma and ensuing despair. Click here (18 minutes) to listen! This interview is the first in a new ThoughtCast series which examines a specific piece of writing -- be it a poem, play, novel, short story, work of non-fiction or scrap of papyrus -- that's had a significant influence on the interviewee, that's shaped and moved them. Up next - esteemed novelist and short story writer Tom Perrotta discusses Good Country People,  a short story by Flannery O'Connor that's particularly meaningful to him.

Liz Benigno, Paige Ueltschey, and Brandon Shufflebarger discuss the life and works of Flannery O'Connor, a mid-century Christian writer that Regents seniors are introduced to in literature class. Beyond talking about her influence, Paige and Brandon discuss the thematic details of two of her short stories -- Good Country People and The Enduring Chill.  If you have never heard of Flannery O'Connor, or don't know much about her, this episode is a great introduction!

This week, it’s a story that is remarkably similar in many ways to last weeks. So, we both loved it, of course! Right? RIGHT?! *sigh* It’s “Good Country People” by Flannery O’Connor.

Southern novelist and short story author Flannery O'Connor's writings are the stuff of literary legend. Why is that? Tune in today to hear some of my thoughts. In in particular I'll be focusing on the story "Good Country People" (1955) and the insights O'Connor gives us into the realities of hypocrisy and scandal. SPOILERS AHEAD! You can get the volume of her complete short stories by clicking here.

Infinite Gestation welcomes special guest Matt Bird for a discussion on Southern Gothic Literature, and more specifically, three short stories by Flannery O'Connor. "Good Country People", "Everything that Rises Must Converge" and "A Good Man is Hard to Find" all exhibit the craft of a master short story writer at work, while further confirming that the author left us far too soon. These stories take a dark look at the post-bellum American South, with all its complexities. Questions emerge regarding the strange nature of evil, institutional racism, and religion's place within one's world view. The presence of O'Connor's influence can be felt in many places, though it can be seen most recently throughout the work of the Coen Brothers (many of their story-telling sensibilities stand firmly in her shadow). With two novels and two collections of short stories, the body of Flannery O'Connor's work can be consumed in a relatively short time. We highly recommend that you do so, and sooner rather than later.

Nathan Gilmour moderates a conversation with Michial Farmer and David Grubbs about Flannery O'Connor. A favorite of the academy and of Christian readers, O'Connor presents a vision of reality where the spirit and human agency are just as real as social forces, a revolt of sorts against much fiction of the mid-twentieth century. Among the stories and essays discussed are "A Good Man Is Hard to Find," "The Grotesque in Southern Fiction," "Revelation," and "Good Country People."

This interview is the second in a new ThoughtCast series which examines a specific piece of writing — be it a poem, play, novel, short story, work of non-fiction or scrap of papyrus — that’s had a significant influence on the interviewee, that’s shaped and moved them.
