Join us for the first annual Carnegie Deli Award ceremony, as we explore international crises and essays we wrote in high school. This week, we’re crossing over YA literary masterpiece Code Name Verity and comic book powerhouse Black Panther. Check us out on iTunes, Soundcloud, and Sticher for a discussion of the depictions of masculinity and felinity in the spy genre, emotional gut punches, badass lady warriors, and Chadwick Bosemen’s phenomenal accent work. No squirrels were harmed in the making of this episode.
Where you can find this pop culture (as of show date):
- Code Name Verity is available to purchase at your local indie bookstore or to borrow at your local library.
- So is Black Panther!
