Podcasts about one true podcast

On the happy occasion of Mark's new Norton Library edition of A Farewell to Arms, One True Podcast goes deep into its vault. We are at last releasing to the general public one of our seldom-heard Patreon episodes, an exploration of the final chapter of A Farewell to Arms, the epic and heart-wrenching chapter 41.We discuss Catherine's behavior, the narrative's disproportionate focus on Frederic as a witness, his eating and drinking, the medical staff, a couple of one true sentences, the ethics of reading someone else's newspaper, and the notion that the ending of this novel may or may not represent Hemingway's worldview.After the unearthed Patreon episode, we continue the discussion, exploring Hemingway's alternate endings and what that tells us about Hemingway's artistic process.We hope you'll enjoy this wide-ranging discussion, ideally in the rain.

One True Podcast ushers in the summer by reading a book that is not by Hemingway, but is Hemingway-relevant: W.H. Hudson's The Purple Land, the 1885 novel that Jake Barnes name-drops in The Sun Also Rises and then weaponizes to criticize Robert Cohn.This episode covers the first 11 chapters, where we discuss the Hemingway-Hudson connection, this novel's picaresque structure, the dramatic situation, the setting, and the various adventures that our hero experiences, including the problematic nature of his “intensely amorous” inclinations.We hope you'll join us in this slow read of The Purple Land. We are using the handsome University of Wisconsin Press edition with an Introduction written by former One True Podcast guest, our friend Ilan Stavans.Thank you as always for your support of One True Podcast!

One True Podcast again toasts to the centenary of Hemingway's In Our Time by examining “Cat in the Rain,” one of its so-called “marriage tales.” We welcome John Beall to discuss the story's setting, its composition, the dynamic of the marriage, its autobiographical inspiration, and how this story fits in to Hemingway's other “frosty” marriages. We explore the symbolism of the cat, the omnipresence of the rain, repetition in the story… and we even wonder: what the heck is that guy reading that's so interesting?John Beall – author of the new book Hemingway's Art of Revision: The Making of the Short Fiction – expertly guides us through the ambiguities of this tense, elliptical story. Thanks for listening! 

Join us as Carl Eby takes us into the nooks and crannies of the Hemingway archives at the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library in Boston. We will discuss the legendary JFK #112 and JFK #113, two discarded and highly provocative chapters from Hemingway's posthumous novel Islands in the Stream.We explore where the discarded material in the JFK Library fits into Islands in the Stream, who cut it and why, and how Hemingway studies would have been different if the novel had included this charged material. We also closely examine certain words from these files, such as "perversions" and "surprize" and “devil.” Eby is President of the Hemingway Society and has focused much of his research on Hemingway's posthumous work. Recently, he published Reading Hemingway's The Garden of Eden for Kent State University Press's Reading Hemingway series. Eby has joined us previously for an episode on The Garden of Eden manuscripts, and he also inaugurated our One True Sentence series with One True Sentence #1, a discussion of Hemingway's "Paris 1922" sketches. Thanks for your continued support of One True Podcast!

One True Podcast begins this year's occasional commemoration of In Our Time's 100th anniversary with a show devoted to one of its highlights. To discuss Hemingway's classic story “Soldier's Home,” we invite the author of Soldiers Once and Still, Alex Vernon.We discuss Harold Krebs and his war experience on the Western Front of World War I, his painful reentry into his former life, and his strained relationship with his mother. We also examine the extraordinary language Hemingway uses to capture Krebs's tortured consciousness and explore this story's placement among Hemingway's career of chronicling men at war. As the author of the first literary biography of Tim O'Brien, Alex describes Krebs's frustration at the difficulty of telling his own true war stories and compares it with the same idea in O'Brien's The Things They Carried.On this, our 150th episode of One True Podcast, join us for a conversation about an essential Hemingway short story. Thank you for listening, rating the program, and spreading the word! 

Happy holidays from One True Podcast, and it wouldn't be the holiday season without Suzanne del Gizzo—the celebrated editor of The Hemingway Review—here to discuss another one of Hemingway's seasonally appropriate works. In previous years, we have talked together about “God Rest You Merry, Gentlemen,” “Christmas on the Roof of the World,” “The Christmas Gift,” and “A North of Italy Christmas.” This year, we explore “The Blind Man's Christmas Eve,” an article Hemingway wrote for The Toronto Star in December 1923.With Suzanne, we place the story in its historical and biographical contexts, delve into the relationship between the main character and the curious narrative perspective, examine how physical and metaphorical blindness works in the story, and connect the story to other Hemingway works such as “The Snows of Kilimanjaro," "A Clean, Well-Lighted Place," "Get a Seeing-Eyed Dog," and Islands in the Stream. We also think about the importance of the song “My Old Kentucky Home,” which the main character hears an Italian organ grinder play. As a special gift to our listeners, we begin the episode with a reading of “The Blind Man's Christmas Eve” by former guest Mackenzie Astin, star of The Facts of Life, The Magicians, and In Love and War, where he played the young Henry Villard opposite Chris O'Donnell's Hemingway and Sandra Bullock's Agnes von Kurowsky. We also end the episode with another treat--a moving rendition of "My Old Kentucky Home" by Hemingway scholar Michael Kim Roos, who appeared as a guest on one of our previous shows on A Farewell to Arms.Thanks for another great year, everybody. Enjoy!

Robert W. Trogdon joins One True Podcast to share the treasures of the new Library of America volume he has edited: A Farewell to Arms and Other Writings, 1927-1932. We discuss Hemingway and his life during those magical, turbulent years, and also the great work he produced.From his second short story collection, Men Without Women to his second novel, A Farewell to Arms, to the unexpected turn his career takes, the bullfighting treatise titled Death in the Afternoon, Trogdon guides us through these works and these eventful years. Trogdon also discusses the various textual issues he faced while editing this volume, including the expletives of A Farewell to Arms, an inverted paragraph that nobody knew about, and Hemingway's vision for the bullfighting photographs in Death in the Afternoon.Join us as we discuss the second Hemingway offering from the Library of America with its editor! 

One True Podcast takes on another classic Hemingway short story as Olivia Carr Edenfield joins us to discuss “Cross-Country Snow,” the beloved Nick Adams story from In Our Time. Prof. Edenfield discusses how this skiing trip links Nick's past with his future, how it fits as a crucial pivot in the story cycle, the Nick-George relationship, the mysterious waitress, the wonderful description of skiing, how the story reflects Hemingway's biography of the mid-1920s … and that curious title.This episode on “Cross-Country Snow” is the latest installment of One True Podcast's ambitious project to tackle every Hemingway short story. Join us for this latest effort! 

It's one of the most famous and admired short stories that Ernest Hemingway ever wrote - and also one of the most controversial. In this episode, Hemingway expert Mark Cirino (host of the One True Podcast) joins Jacke for a discussion of "Hills Like White Elephants," in which a terse exchange between two lovers in a remote Spanish train station reveals a profound moral and existential crisis.

Live from Bilbao! One True Podcast presents our show live from the 20th International Hemingway Conference in Bilbao, Spain. We welcome scholars Stacey Guill and Alberto Lena to explore Hemingway's five stories of the Spanish Civil War. These obscure, under-discussed stories – including “The Denunciation,” “The Butterfly and the Tank,” and “Landscape With Figures” – become coherent and significant as our guests explore their roots in Spanish culture and history as well as Hemingway's own life.We learn about Hemingway's perspective about the war, the way the stories set the groundwork for For Whom the Bell Tolls, his focus on “dignity” in the stories, and the ambiguity of his endings. This conversation will inspire you to visit or revisit these narratives, armed with the context Guill and Lena provide.

One True Podcast welcomes the great Larry Grimes to discuss “Today Is Friday,” the curious playlet from Men Without Women about three Roman soldiers and a Jewish barman discussing Jesus's crucifixion.This interview explores the resonance of the story and what it tells us about Hemingway's lifelong quest for the religious experience. We discuss Hemingway's fascination with executions, masculine Christianity, and hybrid religions. We also explore how the 3rd Roman Soldier unexpectedly emerges as one of the great characters of Hemingway's short fiction.“Today Is Friday” continues One True Podcast's ambitious project of tackling every Hemingway short story. Join us for this latest effort! 

One True Podcast celebrates the publication of  Volume 6 of the Letters of Ernest Hemingway by welcoming two of its editors, Sandra Spanier and Verna Kale. These letters, spanning 1934-1936, find Hemingway in Key West, fishing, publishing Green Hills of Africa, producing his Esquire dispatches, making his famous reaction to the Florida hurricane of 1935, and negotiating the competing demands of life, art, business, and celebrity.We discuss Hemingway's relationships with his correspondents: Arnold Gingrich of Esquire, Maxwell Perkins of Scribner's, Jane Mason, critic Ivan Kashkin, John Dos Passos, and more.Join us as we visit once again with the Hemingway Letters team to explore Hemingway's letters from these crucial years!

Hello, thank you for joining us today On the Dogwatch, where we consider the natural world and the things that help us experience it. On this podcast, it is like we are on a ship's watch together, staring out at the ocean, thinking about the world as it goes by, and going wherever curiosity takes us. I am Michael Canfield, it is currently 1952 at the end of the Second Dog Watch, and this is Episode 63.Is The Old Man and the Sea a great adventure book? Why is it so revered? Does it belong in the Dogwatch Library?Today we have the great fortune to talk with Mark Cirino to help us answer these questions. Mark is the host of One True Podcast, along with Michael VonCanon, which is a show that considers Hemingway's great sentences and his work in general. Mark is a Professor of English, a prolific Hemingway scholar, and his most recent book is One True Sentence: Writers & Readers on Hemingway's Art.In our conversation, we discuss The Old Man and the Sea and how that story fits into a canon of adventure, and whether it belongs in the “Dogwatch Library,” our own list of great books for and about adventure that is modeled after Theodore Roosevelt's “Pigskin Library.” As we consider Santiago's journey, we head all over the map, and touch on the “hero's journey,” Ishmael and Moby Dick, The Red Badge of Courage, how adventure narratives are both external and internal, the idea that ‘the farther we go out the farther we go in' in adventure narratives, and how Hemingway's book can help us think about success and failure. At the end of our conversation we both choose our own “One True Sentences” from Hemingway's work. Mark recommends further reading ideas from Hemingway including the short story “Big Two-Hearted River,” which he calls ‘Hemingway's masterpiece,' and the book Green Hills of Africa.If you are not a listener already, you make sure you check out One True Podcast and Mark and Michael's book, One True Sentence: Writers & Readers on Hemingway's Art. They provide a readily accessible masterclass in Hemingway and how to access his work. They are the English professors you never had.

The Spanish Civil War was a brutal and maddeningly complex historical event, with enormous repercussions on Ernest Hemingway's life and career. To guide us through the many moving parts and frayed relationships, we welcome back Amanda Vaill to One True Podcast. Vaill's essential book, Hotel Florida: Truth, Love, and Death in the Spanish Civil War, guides us through the events of the war, including the private adventures of Hemingway, Martha Gellhorn, John Dos Passos, Robert Capa, Gerda Taro, and more. We discuss what the war meant to Hemingway and his writing that would follow, and how many of his relationships would never be the same. 

The two great titans of twentieth-century American literature – Ernest Hemingway and William Faulkner – never met. They corresponded only a time or two; however, they were always on each other's minds. Their hyper-awareness of the other's recent work led sometimes to envy, sometimes to awe, and frequently to catty comments.To help us learn more about these two men and their fraught relationship, we invite Prof. Ahmed Honeini of Royal Holloway, University of London, to the program. Honeini is the founder of Faulkner Studies in the UK and has written the superb book, William Faulkner and Mortality: A Fine Dead Sound. Honeini expertly guides us through Hemingway and Faulkner's lives, works, and relationship as One True Podcast continues its investigation of Hemingway's many rivalries.

One True Podcast reads in our time! Welcome to the first of our eighteen shows celebrating the centenary of Hemingway's book of vignettes.Starting with the unforgettable opening salvo -- “Everybody was drunk” -- chapter one describes a kitchen corporal in a chaotic battery on the way to the Champagne during World War I.  We explore these 112 words and what they reveal about Hemingway's experimentation, his challenging style, and his attitude about war as a young man. As Hemingway writes, “It was funny going along that road.”Join us as we explore in our time before it became In Our Time!

Join us as we unravel the complexities of Hemingway's life and appreciate the timeless power of his writing. The Life and Works of Ernest Hemingway Show Notes with Mark Cirino 2:13 - Mark grew up in a household where his parents were readers. Her mother was a writer and his father was a journalist. This is also where he talks about how he stumbled upon Ernest Hemingway's works. 3:48 - Mark talks about what the war meant to Hemingway. 5:49 - He describes Hemingway's writing style and the iceberg theory. Ernest's style may have come from his journalism background and his subject matter. The men of action that he writes about are involved in crises or dangerous situations. 11:30 - We dig into Hemingway's early life when his love for the outdoors started, particularly fishing. He mentions the places that Ernest wrote about such as Michigan where he wrote Indian Camp and The Doctor and the Doctor's Wife among others. 13:32 - He differentiates the real Ernest from the myth of him. 18:58 - He had Ken Burns and Lynn Novick on the One True Podcast to talk about their PBS documentary on Hemingway. Ken Burns and Lynn Novick also co-wrote the introduction in their book called One True Sentence: Writers & Readers on Hemingway's Art. 20:52 - In Hemingway's memoir called A Moveable Feast, he talks about how to deal with writer's block by starting with one true sentence and going on from there. 22:20 - He talks about fishing in relation to Hemingway's works. 24:05 - I mentioned John Gierach, author of several fly-fishing books, whom we had in the podcast in episodes 047 and 434. 25:36 - In Hemingway's journey as a fisherman, he bought a fishing boat in 1934 which he called Pilar. Mark has an episode in his podcast with Paul Hendrickson where they talked about the latter's book called Hemingway's Boat: Everything He Loved in Life, and Lost. 26:45 - Hemingway's works inspire Mark to keep his curiosity and continuously produce interesting topics for his podcast. 28:27 - We dig into the predator-prey concept in fishing and hunting in Hemingway's book called Islands in the Stream. 33:22 - His current favorite Hemingway work is A Farewell to Arms. He also talks about The Old Man and The Sea which he says is the perfect Hemingway theme of "winner take nothing". 36:36 - We talk about the end of Hemingway's life at the age of 61 in Ketchum, Idaho. His wife Mary said that he accidentally killed himself while cleaning his shotgun. 40:56 - Mark talks about Pauline Pfeiffer, Ernest Hemingway's second wife. He was married four times. He tackles more about her in his episode with Ruth Hawkins. 42:50 - I ask him about Ernest and Spanish bullfighting which he wrote about in his books entitled Death in the Afternoon and The Sun Also Rises. 44:46 - He shares some highlights from The Sun Also Rises. 49:13 - For those who haven't read any of Hemingway's works, he recommends starting with The Old Man and the Sea and one of his short stories called Big Two-Hearted River. 53:16 - He asks which I think is more conducive for soldiers returning home from the war between deep fishing and fly fishing. 54:12 - We dig into Hemingway's evolution of writing. From 1925 to 1929, he wrote four books which made him a literary superstar. His comeback in 1940 was successful because of his book entitled For Whom the Bell Tolls. 56:31 - He describes Hemingway as a pessimist as evident in an excerpt from his book In Death in the Afternoon, in which he says "All stories end in death, and he is no true-story teller who would keep that from you." 58:00 - He talks about that time in 1954 when Hemingway and his wife Mary survived two plane crashes in Africa, and his failed attempts before his suicide in 1961. 1:02:47 - He started the One True Podcast when he noticed that there were no podcasts focused on Ernest Hemingway. The Hemingway Society sponsors the podcast. 1:04:47 - He likes listening to other podcasts such as the Rico Brogna Podcast with Evan Roberts who is a crazy Met fan.

In this episode, One True Podcast takes on the white whale of Hemingway studies: the unpublished manuscript of The Garden of Eden. Although the published version we know may be shocking, the sprawling manuscript reveals even more dimensions of this challenging text and the many complexities of its author.For this discussion, we turn to Hemingway Society President Carl Eby, who shares what he's learned about the manuscript through more than thirty years of studying it and many, many hours in the Kennedy Archives, poring over Ernest Hemingway's words than never made the final edit.We learn about the composition of the novel, the African strain to the narrative, the legendary discarded subplot, the many artistic and literary allusions, Hemingway's vision for ending the novel, and much more. This interview was conducted as Eby's new study Reading Hemingway's The Garden of Eden is being published, an essential guide to the novel that explores the published edition and its manuscript in meticulous detail.  

For our 100th episode, One True Podcast investigates the legend of the lost manuscripts! In December 1922, Hemingway's first wife Hadley, misplaced a suitcase filled with the young Hemingway's unpublished writing. Since then, this episode has invited intense speculation: Was this early work stolen? Did it end up in the garbage? Did Hadley subconsciously want the work to be stolen? In order to explore the unknowable, we turn to four novelists who each use this mysterious episode as the inspiration for a novel. Join us as Sherry Harris (The Gun Also Rises, 2019), David Berens (The Hemingway Code, 2022), Diane Gilbert Madsen (Hunting for Hemingway, 2010), and Dennis McDougal (Hemingway's Suitcase, 2017) talk about how the manuscripts inspired their own fiction, what they think happened to the suitcase, how Hadley might have felt, and the challenge of writing about Hemingway. We also discuss one of our “one true sentences” that describes how Hemingway felt “in the night” after confirming that all of his work was gone. Enjoy this episode and all of its speculation! And thank you for supporting One True Podcast over the first one hundred episodes! 

In the late nineteenth century, a popular magazine ran a cartoon with what it called "a race problem." Tensions between black and white Americans in the postwar era? Nope. It was referring to a poor white southerner - shabby, slouching, lazy, and dumb - the kind of good-for-nothing layabout who would bring down the striving white middle class. (Think: Huck Finn's father Pap.) In this episode, Jacke talks to author Jolene Hubbs about her new book Class, Whiteness, and Southern Literature, which looks at twentieth-century middle-class white anxieties about poor whites - and how authors like Charles Chesnutt, William Faulkner, and Flannery O'Connor worked within and against this tradition.

One True Podcast continues our exploration of the always complicated world of Hemingway's volatile “friendships” with an episode devoted to Gertrude Stein. We turn to scholar Barbara Will who discusses the things Miss Stein instructed Hemingway about, both personally and professionally. We cover Stein's background and education, her depiction in A Moveable Feast, her role in Modernism, her politics during World War I and World War II, the way things ended between her and Hemingway, and some of her greatest writings. Prof. Will also explains how “There's no there there” is a perfect illustration of Stein's approach to art, in all its mysterious brilliance. Join us for this fascinating episode! 

Happy New Year from One True Podcast!  We usher in 2023 with our new year's tradition of wondering what Ernest Hemingway was doing one hundred years ago. In 1923, what was Hemingway writing? Where did he live? Who were his friends and enemies? How was his marriage going?  And what was on the horizon? To answer these questions, we turn to his biographer, James M. Hutchisson, emeritus professor at The Citadel and author of Ernest Hemingway: A New Life. Hutchisson describes Hemingway's trajectory during this year of transition, a young man recuperating from trauma and loss to a striking transformation from poet to journalist to fiction writer on the cusp of greatness. Happy listening and happy 2023! 

Jacke is joined by Professor Mark Cirino, host of the One True Podcast and editor of One True Sentence: Writers & Readers on Hemingway's Art, for a discussion of Hemingway's classic short story about World War I and recovery in an Italian hospital, "In Another Country." (If you haven't read the story in a while don't worry - we read it for you!) PLUS we kick off a new series on 99 random fragments of Kafka's life.

We welcome back Suzanne del Gizzo to ring in the season with a discussion of “The Christmas Gift,” Hemingway's account of his 1954 plane crashes in East Africa. Del Gizzo, editor of The Hemingway Review and widely published scholar, guides us through this extraordinary piece originally written for Look magazine, its role in Hemingway's self-mythologizing, its examination of his near-death experience, its representation of Mary, and how the article both reveals and obscures what actually happened.  It has been a triumphant 2022 for One True Podcast, so we hope you'll enjoy unwrapping this gift of an episode. Thank you for listening and supporting the show.

This episode honors the recovery effort by urging our listeners to go to www.communitycooperative.com and give generously to provide direct help to those who suffered from the hurricane. Fittingly, we will devote this One True Fundraiser to a lively discussion of Hemingway's hardboiled short story, “After the Storm,” set in the aftermath of the devastating hurricane of 1919.

One True Podcast examines the deadly category 5 hurricane that ravaged the Florida Keys over Labor Day weekend in 1935, both from a historical perspective and a fictional treatment. We first hear from historian Thomas Neil Knowles, author of Category 5: The 1935 Labor Day Hurricane, who describes the deadly weather system, its devastating toll on the veterans stationed along the Keys, the bureaucratic inefficiencies, and its legacy. Next, we are joined by Erika Robuck, award-winning author of Hemingway's Girl, which uses the 1935 hurricane as a historical touchstone. She discusses her approach to fictionalizing Hemingway, how she researched the hurricane, her visits to the Keys, and a remarkable note she received from the housekeeper of the Hemingway house in Key West. This episode also features a reading from Hemingway's scathing essay “Who Murdered the Vets?” performed by Benjamin Bravard. 

"All you have to do is write one true sentence," Ernest Hemingway said in A Moveable Feast. "Write the truest sentence that you know." And so he did: the man wrote thousands of sentences, all in search of "truth" of some kind. What does a "true sentence" mean for a fiction writer? What true sentences did Hemingway himself write? And how much of this is in the eye of the beholder? In this episode, Jacke is joined by Mark Cirino, the host of the One True Podcast and author of the book One True Sentence: Writers and Readers on Hemingway's Art, for a discussion of Hemingway, his quest for true sentences, and what that has meant for dozens of contemporary readers. (Special bonus: Mark and Jacke roam through Hemingway's works before choosing their own true sentences.)

In 1986, twenty-five years after Hemingway's death, Scribner's published a coherent portion of his sprawling manuscript called The Garden of Eden. This publication changed the way we view Hemingway's engagement with gender and sexuality, and remains his most daring novel ever.  In order to make that novel publishable, Scribner's called on a gentleman named Tom Jenks to do the editing. Jenks hauled the manuscript home on the New York City subway in shopping bags and began his work, which was one of the most high-profile editorial jobs in the history of American literature. Jenks joins One True Podcast to discuss his efforts with The Garden of Eden – his editing strategy, assessment of Hemingway's work, and thoughts about the book's legacy. Since 1986, Jenks has discussed his Hemingway work only sparingly, so his frank discussion is a rare treat. 

Andrew Feldman joins us to talk about his book Ernesto: The Untold Story of Hemingway in Revolutionary Cuba. What did Cuba mean to Papa and what has Papa meant to Cuba? To explore the place where Hemingway spent much of his adult life and Ernest became Ernesto, we discuss Hemingway's relationship to the Cuban people, his engagement with Cuban politics, and some of his greatest works, including The Old Man and the Sea and A Moveable Feast.  Feldman gives One True Podcast a debrief on his extraordinary two-year research trip to Havana and its environs, where he spent the majority of his time in Hemingway's storied home, the Finca Vigía. 

How did one of history's greatest writers — Ernest Hemingway — get going with his craft, develop his indelible style, and infuse his narratives with memorable life and compelling tension?Today we delve into the answers to those questions with Hemingway scholar Mark Cirino, who is a professor of English, the editor and author of half a dozen books on Hemingway — including Ernest Hemingway: Thought in Action — and the host of the One True Podcast which covers all things related to Papa. Mark and I our begin our conversation with how Hemingway cut his teeth with writing as a journalist, how the "iceberg theory" underlay his approach to writing as a novelist, and how his years in Paris — and the books, people, and art he encountered there — influenced his work and the trajectory of his career. We then discuss how his travel and recreational pastimes allowed him to write with a vivid firsthand understanding of certain places and pursuits, what his writing routine was like, and how the characters in his novels explore the tension between thought and action. We end our conversation with Mark's recommendation for where to start reading Hemingway if you've never read him or haven't read him in a long time, and what Mark thinks was Hemingway's "one true sentence."Resources Related to the PodcastHemingway works mentioned in the show:"Big Two-Hearted River""Soldier's Home""Hills Like White Elephants""Killers""Indian Camp""The Snows of Kilimanjaro"In Our TimeDeath in the AfternoonA Moveable FeastThe Sun Also RisesAcross the River and Into the TreesFor Whom the Bell TollsThe Old Man and the SeaA Farewell to ArmsMen at War (edited by Hemingway)Shakespeare and Company lending cards for HemingwayErnest Hemingway: A Life Story by Carlos BakerHemingway's Brain by Andrew FarahAoM Article: Why Ernest Hemingway Committed SuicideAoM Article: The Libraries of Famous Men — Ernest HemingwayAoM Article: Ernest Hemingway as a Case Study in Living a T-Shaped LifeConnect With Mark CirinoOne True PodcastOne True Podcast on Twitter

Hi! How are you? That's great. I'm glad to hear that. So before we start, Ro also has a podcast called The One True Podcast and I was originally gonna say this was "feat. Ro of The One True Podcast and Storm" but that felt a little insulting to Storm so go check out The One True Podcast's links here before you even listen to this episode cause it's probably like two billion times better than our stuff but that's generally true of every podcast that collabs with us so... yeah! Anyways, anime conventions! They're happening again! With Otacon setting off the first domino for many other anime conventions to fall over and return, we thought we'd talk about that and paneling at conventions! Why? Cause... we wanted to do that, I guess. I mean, I definitely want to get on stage and talk about the top 10 siscons in anime in front of strangers for them to ridicule me and judge me in an almost biblical sense but I'm also kind of into that just hurting myself over and over thing. And little sister characters. I'm a big supporter of family. And family relationships. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) Basically one thing led to another and we have Ro (of The One True Podcast) and Storm (of being alive or something) on to talk about their paneling experiences and anime conventions and all that deep junk! Think of it like Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee or whatever except it's Weebs in a Discord Channel Getting Dehydrated. Maybe we'll do more? Maybe we won't? Go check out the link above to see all of Ro's stuff and check out her podcast and if you see Storm on the street then say hey or something. As always, check out new episodes every Tuesday by going to our website at www.otakumelancholy.com to see all our links including our social media and join the Discord at https://discord.gg/rUHYUyW to continue the conversation! Ganbatte!

One True Podcast takes a deep dive into Joan Miró's masterpiece and Hemingway's beloved possession, The Farm.  We welcome art historian Alex Fernandez de Castro and journalist Hugh Eakin to discuss the meaning, history, and legacy of this powerful and infinitely mysterious painting. In our two-part interview, we cover Miró's evolution as an artist, his similarities and differences with Hemingway, and the crucial importance of this painting in his storied career. We also learn the mythology of how Hemingway bought The Farm, and ultimately, how it has now come to be housed in Washington, DC, at the National Gallery.  Join us in our travels to Miró's Farm!

In episode three, your OT3 asks the important, pressing questions: What is going on with the Twilight fandom? Is “Fifty Shades of Gray” what fan fiction is actually like? How DOES Edward do the sex if he's basically dead? Tune in to find out.

Chad Conine drops by to talk Big 12 football with Brice Cherry and John Werner as the Bears take another unexpected siesta this week: • This one wasn't a scheduled bye week: The Bears are dealing with an outbreak of COVID-19 cases that led to the postponement of the homecoming game with Oklahoma State, and as we sit here today, it feels like even next week's game at Texas is in question. Has Baylor just been unlucky, or have the Bears not been cautious enough with all the protocols? • Now BU-OSU is slated for Dec. 12, the same day as the Big 12 Championship Game. What's the likelihood that the conference will have to move that game back a week — it's already built a Dec. 19 possibility into the schedule — in order to accommodate the Cowboys or Bears competing for a spot in that game?  • The Big 12 stat of the week is that 62 percent of the games have been decided by a touchdown or less, with four upsets out of 13 games. Simple question: Good thing or bad thing for the league? • Not to get too political on One True Podcast, but here's a timely question: What Big 12 head coach would make the best presidential candidate, who would be his running mate, and what would their slogan be?
