Awesome! Book Club e12 – The Diary of a Young Girl pt3

Part three of our discussion of The Diary of a Young Girl. Anne Frank’s diary persists to this day as one of the most enduring books of the twentieth century. Written while she and her family hid from the Nazis. Her writing comes alive off the page and beckons friendship with every word. Her life was tragically short, but full of more fire, wit, and charm than any person twice her age. Her name encapsulates the greater horror of the holocaust to all, but after meeting Anne through this book it is sure to evoke a sense of loss for a dear friend.

Danny will be back next time!

Awesome! Book Club e07 – Hiroshima Part 2

In this episode we discuss Hiroshima by John Hersey which follows the tragic events of August 6th, 1945 through the eyes of six survivors. It was published in The New Yorker in August 1946 and was put to print as a book shortly after, with a revision after John Hersey followed up with his survivors. It is a personal, moving, and sometimes horrific, peek into the very heart of an event that shook humanity and shaped the course of human history.

As a side note, keep an eye out for a special release in tandem with Black History Month, in which we read and discuss Between the World and Me by Ta-Nehisi Coates. And our new co-host Danny will be joining us!

Check out Hiroshima on Amazon

DUEL OF TAINTS EPISODE 31: A YEAR IN REVIEW (NOT REALLY)

It’s a year in review! This episode features Kane and Rett looking back over the last year and celebrating their favorite parts. Then discuss a ton of trivia to boggle your mind! After that, a listener asked us to cast Start Trek TNG. The guys go down in flames, absolutely unable to re-cast Jean-Luc.

Then Kane argues with Rett that Spider-Man 1 and 2 suck.

It’s been quite the year, and we here at airpodcast.com can’t wait to see what 2015 has in store.
