    Tabled Fables Episode 2: Hansel and Gretel

    Our second episode is live! Listen as we discuss the sweet and gory and seriously disturbing story of Hansel and Gretel—just in time for Halloween. This month, special guest Professor Maria Tatar helped us analyze the story.

    And do you hear that awesome theme song? Brilliant composer Alex Brusentsev crafted the music just for us. Check him out on Facebook, Twitter, or his blog Arguably Unfocused.

    This is perfect for Halloween—witches AND candy!

    Have a listen to our first episode of Tabled Fables where we discuss Little Red Riding Hood. (Trigger warning: we do discuss symbolism in the story, which involves rape.)

    Our first fairy tale podcast, on Red Riding Hood, is live! You can follow our feed (http://feeds.feedburner.com/TabledFables) for more monthly episodes. And we’re eventually going to be on iTunes as well.

  7. Critical Wit #48 – Meet Beatrice the Biologist!

    Katie McKissick is a “former high school biology teacher who simply loves to talk, write, and read about science.”  She’s also the author and illustrator of “Beatrice the Biologist,” a fun, informative website about science.  In this episode, guest host Sophie Bushwick chats with Katie about her unique way of describing science through blogging and illustrating.  And they discuss one of the more popularly read Beatrice the Biologist articles, “Biology Doesn’t Support Gay Marriage Bans” and how it spun off into a conversation about olives.
