Ep. 12 - The Good Lord Bird

Welcome to Historical Frictions, a historical fiction podcast, where we delving into the nitty-gritty of history, fiction, and everything in between, hosted by Hilary, Tess, and Lachlan.

In this episode, we have Lachlan's first book: The Good Lord Bird, by James McBride, recently adapted for TV starring Ethan Hawke. We talk all things about the novel, Lachlan tells us the interesting history behind Kansas before the Civil War, and listen as we all get Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn confused (sorry American listeners).

Lachlan's recommended sources:

William Nash's Conversation article here.
John Stauffer, Black Hearts of Men (2002)
Joanne Freeman, Field of Blood (2018)

Tess, Lachlan, and Hilary would like to acknowledge the traditional custodians of the land they live and work: Kaurna Country (Adelaide Plains) and the Gadigal of the Eora Nation (Sydney), and pay our respects to the Elders both past and present.
