Asimov's 1950 vision of 2157 schools is WILDLY relevant today! Was this futuristic vision a utopia or a cautionary tale? In our latest podcast episode, we delve deep into "The Fun They Had," dissecting Asimov's surprisingly prescient exploration of technology in education. We discuss the story's core themes: the potential dehumanization of learning, the allure of a romanticized past, and the crucial role of human connection in education. Written decades ago, this story sparks a vital conversation about the choices we face today as technology transforms our classrooms and society.

Episode 02: What Makes A Good Story?

A Podcast Episode for the Bold. 
Consider yourself warned: this episode delves into intensely unsettling territory. We dissect a shocking latinamerican short story called "Vi Una Mujer, Y Ella Miraba El Mar", a story shrouded in mystery and unsettling imagery.
What secrets does Rocío harbor as she stands over Matías, who lies in a bathtub of ice, brutally injured? Is it violence? Is it mercy? Is it something far more complex? We dissect this haunting scene, exploring the symbolism of the apple pendant, the oppressive atmosphere of the setting sun, and the ever-present, silent witness of the sea.
This is a story that will stay with you, prompting uncomfortable questions about life, death, and the human capacity for both.
If you appreciate literature that pushes boundaries and explores the shadows of the human condition, this episode is essential listening.
Are you brave enough to face the darkness?

Episode 03: Rocío And The Sea (Horror Short Story)

In this episode, Sarah talks to Ximena Morillas Altamirano, an up-and-coming writer and educator from Cajamarca, Perú.
