Stories--when told well--entertain us, enthrall us, captivate us. At times, however, they provide far more—commenting on the world, defining our society, revealing our origins or our future. Sometimes, stories are deeply personal—shaping who we are or who we aim to be. In the Lit Matters podcast, English professor and lover of stories, Chris Evans, discusses the question of “what stories should we all be reading?” with fellow teachers, librarians, writers, musicians, professionals, students, and more. Join him in this quest to create an empowering and inclusive bookshelf for all.

Are you looking for direction in this madcap world?
Are you trying to figure out “Who are you?”
To search for answers to some of these questions, we are joined by Derrick Fernando, a High School and College English teacher and the host of the American L_it! Podcast. For Episode 10 of the Lit Matters Podcast, we dive headfirst, whole-heartedly—into the rabbit-hole that is Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. I’m mad. Derrick is mad. We are all a little mad…or we wouldn’t be listening to this podcast. So, join us in Wonderland.
