Was It Good?: A Literary Podcast

Arts EN ↓ 6 Folgen

Welcome to Was It Good?, the most unserious serious literary podcast on the internet. Silly geese PhD students Sid Robichaud (she/her) and Rowan Li (they/them) combine their scholarly expertise with their goofy natures to give you the rundown on adaptations of literature to film, TV, music, and other new media. What is the best Pride & Prejudice? Was Netflix’s Persuasion really that bad? Will they ever stop adapting Austen? Each month, Sid and Rowan will get in the pond to tackle these questions and more, taking you from page to screen (and beyond!) in order to decide: Was It Good?
