Episode description
We are doomed to remember a podcast about a book about a boy with a wrecked voice. John Irving's seminal bildungsroman A Prayer for Owen Meany weaves together themes of American disillusionment and religious destiny into a fable about little Owen, who changed the world of everyone that knew him.
Join us as we find excuses to talk about Seinfeld, prayers for war robots, and strange dads.
