CREATIVE PODCASTS
A WMUA PODCAST PRODUCTION –
Debriefing the history, etymology, and origins of societies' strangest metaphors (and various other figures of speech such as riddles, idioms, etc.) and connecting these old tales to our lives as college students. Have you ever wondered WHY you shouldn’t look a gift horse in the mouth? Who even came up with that?? We will delve into the greatest mysteries of the English vernacular. Prepare to discuss the silliest uses of figurative language as well as the history behind it dating back to Greek and Roman times. Similarly, we will talk about some of the most renowned metaphors in our favorite books, debunk rumors that have been misconstrued over centuries through word of mouth retellings, and reveal the true tales where these morals originated from. Sparked by a riveting discussion of Franz Kafka's Metamorphosis, we present to you: Metaphorphosis.
Every week a poet from the fertile fields of Western Massachusetts joins us in our WMUA studio. They share a beloved poem by another poet and some of their own poems, followed by  a deep discussion about their work and life as a poet.
