The fun, smart kids in your English class
If you have fond memories of English class like I do, this is the podcast for you. Chantelle and Amy have a passion for the topics they’re talking about, but also a healthy dose of sideeye. It makes you laugh and it makes you think. Don’t miss it.
Cite Your Work
Uncited is a literary analysis podcast for listeners of all levels, from the fellow English majors and book worms to the casual page turners. Amy and Chantelle strike a nice balance between easygoing banter and in depth discussion. They also tackle a variety of genres and generations. For instance, I listened to episodes on a Margaret Atwood book and then Shakespeare’s Macbeth back to back. The corrections from previous episodes into the plot and themes run through and their own story analysis gives the episode a structured, laid back flow to keep things fresh. Give them a listen and subscribe now!
Great discussions
This podcast takes me back to my undergrad English lit courses in the best way possible: just two smart and funny people talking about literature, minus the quizzes and the students who never read the assignment.
