About this listen

Welcome back listeners to our first episode of 2026. In our search to discover the greatest stories ever told, we keep coming back to the question: what makes a story great? In this episode, the team approaches that question from the angle of Harold Bloom's “the Western Canon,” the idea that there exists a canonical list of books that underpin the literary enterprise of the Western World.
