Little Women: A Modern Audio Drama

Bonus Episode #7: Who Was the "Real" Laurie?

Fri, 14 Feb 2020 16:47:07 -0000

It’s a Valentine’s-themed (ummm, sort of!) bonus episode! Real life couple Shannon and Zach Powers (“Laurie”) discuss the various men in Louisa May Alcott’s life who may—or may not— have inspired her most beloved male character.

This episode was also edited by Zach. You can check out more of his podcast work by listening to The Revisionists.

Bonus Episode #8: Mr. Josephine March

Mon, 17 Feb 2020 21:03:49 -0000

Ahead of Professor Bhaer’s (Kwame Phillips) debut on our podcast later this week, Shannon and comedian Jesse Whitehead discuss this controversial character and what his inclusion means to the world of Little Women. Why does he exist? What values did he represent to Louisa and readers at the time? And most importantly, does his marriage to Jo really undercut the book’s feminist themes?

This episode also features the voice of Jessica Leff as Louisa May Alcott.

* We apologize for some minor audio issues that occurred on my end during this episode. It shouldn’t happen again.*

This episode was edited by our own Zach Powers, also of The Revisionists podcast.
