The "Hideous Bargain" is no longer just about one childโ€™s pain . . .

When we turn Zen into a pop-culture vibe or a totem pole into a corporate metaphor, we aren't learning; we're committing interpretative violence.

Why have so few read Soyinka? And can we find hope through his cynical dramas? I admit I am a victim of the myth-making around me which has made Soyinka and other African writers largely invisible.

Considering that the podcast kind of just started up again in 2025, those preposterous 1000% listener increases don't surprise too much!

But if you haven't listened and want to make that number happen again in 2026, I won't complain! (And shout-out to my listeners in Spain, Brazil, UK, & Canada!)

And what if nobody listens?

Yes, entering our calls for justice into public space carries no small amount of anxiety. And the poster-child for being unheard, the Trojan princess, priestess, and prophet Cassandra may provide us some clues to our goals in writing as anti-epic heroes.
