Literature Remixes
Matt, Mandy, and Christina talk about literature remixes. What is a literature remix? Take a well-known and beloved story - a Shakespeare play, a Jane Austen novel, fairy tale - and retell the story in a whole new setting. What makes a good remix? What makes a bad one? And what is it about some classic stories that compel us to keep remixing and retelling them over and over?

Customer Reviews
A Welcome Refuge
Dec. 7,2023 What a heartwarming look at friendships! With one difference . . .
tho’ it’s hard for you to imagine how people have such skewed views of friendship, I lived several painfully skewed years. Children and teens fed a steady diet of Elvis and James Bond movies, and a lack of classic literature may not even realize there are other options. It scrambles your brain and your emotions, taking years to realize and rewire. Thanking God for the welcome mentoring and refuge of the Anselm perspective!
Wonderful!
Love for this podcast coming from Montana. Please never stop!
Delightful!
This podcast is outstanding. It’s a delight to hear a podcast that is Christ honoring, thought provoking, and entertaining! Plus no shortage of interesting topics.
