The Drinklings
by The Drinklings
The Drinklings are a group of College Teachers that discuss and analyze different aspects of literature, while having a few drinks at a local bar with a specialized drink to start the show. We started this podcast as an attempt to show that it is possible to talk theoretical analysis in any place that you go, as inspired by our heroes named The Inklings. We pick a text with a specific theme and then toast a drink that is tied to the text/theme. After that, we just see where the discussion takes us. There are spoilers and mature content, but only as mature as it gets in a typical bar. Enjoy!
