    Book Club: Doctors From Hell

This 2005 book is an accounting of the Nuremberg Trials by Vivian Spitz, a then young court stenographer thrust into some of the worst horrors of Nazi Germany through World War II. Come listen for a review, themes of the book, and what lessons we can take from it today.

    The Lord of the Rings: Return of the King

    This week we close the book on our journey to Middle Earth with The Lord of the Rings: Return of the King. We can't help but get back into a compare and contrast of the written word with the near-perfect films, but also take a dive into discussing how the characters between the two differ (for better or worse) as well as omissions from the books we wish made it into the movies. Stay tuned for our next book, which will be the long sought after Dune by our After the Hype network compatriot Bryan Dressel. See you then!

    Flowers for Algernon

    We're at the home stretch for The Lord of the Rings: Return of the King, but Joel took a detour to the sad short story Flowers for Algernon by author Daniel Keyes. Come listen to why this story about a man who gains incredible intelligence and the cost that comes with it. Music credits: 'Filaments' by @ScottBuckley
