info_outlineWelcome to the first episode of Salon B, the new podcast from Berghahn Books. We are happy that you could join us as we embark on this exciting project.
Historically, salons followed Horace’s aim of poetry “either to please or to educate”, and we hope to do both as we bring you a gathering of academics and writers from a wide range of disciplines to discuss their work, read extracts, and talk about their academic life, all tied to a different monthly theme.
This episode, in recognition of its Halloween release date, is themed around bones, and features bones both real and metaphorical.
Guests of the salon include Brian Hoggard (author of Magical House Protection: The Archaeology of Counter-Witchcraft) and A.E. Garrison (contributor to Blurring Timescapes, Subverting Erasure: Remembering Ghosts on the Margins of History).
Our closing poem “Apple Trees” was written and recorded by Marion McCready and first published in Critical Survey Vol. 28, Issue 3.
