Podcasts about joseph conrad's heart

The horror, the horror! It's time to talk about colonialism, y'all. Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness has inspired plenty of stories about a dude diving deep into nature to find another dude, so we figured we'd get to the...heart...of the matter. Listen and learn what exactly the horror, the horror means and why some notable writers want nothing to do with this classic text of 19th-century imperialism.

The Finleys take a different approach this week when they discuss two movies on the basis on the books from which they were adapted: Sam Peckinpah's adaptation of Jim Thompson's The Getaway (1972) and Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness (as Coppola's 1979 film, Apocalypse Now).

I talked about Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness.  The style and story

No basketball talk today, as we devote the full hour to one of the big books of 2016, Colson Whitehead's The Underground Railroad. We are joined by our friend Ben Felton to unpack the ways in which Whitehead re-imagines America during the time of slavery, and what this book has to say about the America we're still living in. For our next pod, we'll be returning to our normal format, with a discussion of Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness, as well as a look at the state of the MVP race in the NBA as we near the midpoint of the season.
