The Literature Humanities Radio Hour on WKCR 89.9FM: Literary Classics in Conversation

arts, books · EN

Ever wanted to talk about the “classics” in a relaxed, accessible setting? This podcast brings together Columbia University Core Curriculum lecturers to discuss their favorite moments from the texts we read in class. Each year, roughly 1,800 students work through the same sequence of literary classics, from Ancient Mesopotamia to Toni Morrison. We follow that arc in conversation.Hosted by WKCR 89.9 FM radio host and Core lecturer Thomas, with colleagues Katrina, Larry, and a rotating group of others. We’re not experts, our students aren’t experts, and nor do you need to be. Recorded live.
