Gather round, children, for the story of one of the coolest ladies in literary history.
 
Zora Neale Hurston was born with a thirst for adventure and the confidence to conquer the world, even though at the start of the 1900s, to be both black and a woman seemed a formidable barrier to overcome.
 
But it didn’t take long for her to make her mark on the world as both a writer during the Harlem Renaissance (her most popular novel is Their Eyes Were Watching God), and an anthropologist, studying hoodoo and conjure all over the southern United States and the West Indies.
 
In fact, her life is so full of drama and adventure that this episode quickly turned into a two parter, so enjoy part one where Hannah and Tyler talk about Hurston’s early years (including a parent who might go down in BL&L infamy), her entrance on the writing scene, and initial anthropology expeditions.

"Alice in Wonderland" is one of the most-loved children's books of all time, but how much do you know about its creator, Charles Lutwidge Dodgson (AKA Lewis Carroll)?
As it turns out, a big part of Carroll's life is so embroiled in controversy that Tyler didn't even have to make up a conspiracy theory about the author.
