Many of us learn about famous literature in our high school classes and textbooks – Shakespeare’s "Macbeth," Plato’s "Apology of Socrates," Bible’s Genesis, Sophocles’ "Oedipus Rex," Homer’s "Odyssey"... But is it so simple to know what these texts mean? In each episode of Re-Readings, high school senior Hank Lin hosts conversations with three leading Academic scholars about how they make sense of our most talked-about texts. Afterwards, the Podcast community are able to join the conversation, voting about which methods they find most inspiring.
