Episode:
In the opening chapter of Hypnopaedia: LIT 101, listeners follow the life of poet, activist, and thought leader Amiri Baraka through his most influential works. While being enveloped by the calming drone of a university library, listeners will be able to track the events that motivated Baraka’s mastery over verse and impassioned social critique.

Series:
Stories have been told since the dawn of man, inspired by everything the human experience has to offer. There are epics spanning generations, hero’s journeys full of adventure and heart, thrilling mysteries that grip readers until their final moments. All of these stories help us reflect on our lives in their own way, but what about the lives that made them possible? These artifacts take a look at the lived experiences of the authors that breathe life into these stories to see exactly how much truth is injected into the fictional.

Written, Produced, and Performed by Chloe Lael
