Episode 70 - Fahrenheit 451

Two friends and academics recap classic literature and take it off its pedestal. This season, we are only looking at banned and controversial texts. In our seventieth episode, Ray Bradbury's literary-based dystopia, Fahrenheit 451 (1953), we get one step closer to EGOT-ing, see more of Abby's French-Canadian Vermonter roots, process Daniel's early cinema trauma, and discuss some scholastic terms: fridging, Bowlderisation, and Futurismo.
