Episode 44 - The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn

Two friends and academics recap classic literature and take it off its pedestal. In our forty-fourth episode, we look at Mark Twain's satire on systematic racism and childhood trauma, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (1884). It's full of bad southern accents, men painted weird colours, identity theft, and bounty (both financial and chocolate). We also learn that Abby is from Grade-A dirtbag stock, and that Daniel has clinical depression.Cover art © Catherine Wu.Episode Theme: 'Riffs on Tara' written and performed by Daniel Jenkin-Smith.
