Episode 92: WWBD
from Wacky Poem Life · host Shaun Perkins
Episode 92: WWBD delves into the quandary of What Would Burt Do, meaning, in terms of swimming. What would Burt Lancaster of the 1968 film "The Swimmer," based on the sublime story by John Cheever, do in a situation. Or, in other words, what would a group of folks who gathered to celebrate Yevgeny Yevtushenko's birthday in the hamlet of 1,400 people, Locust Grove, Oklahoma, have to say about swimming, inspired by the Yevtushenko poem, as read by Zhenya Yevtushenko, his son? I think that was a question. Listen and find out what the heck all this means!
