  • The Ultimate Cormac McCarthy Destination

    The host is excellent, low-key, knowledgeable and friendly. The guests are Cormacian scholars, professors and writers. All tops in the field. I wish the episodes were longer, but this podcast is probably a work of love and admiration, so we are lucky it exists.

I have found all of the topics and guests really wonderful. I am learning so much from this podcast about a writer whose corpus I have come to respect and enjoy so much. Thank you, Prof. Yarbrough— keep up the great work!

    Cormac McCarthy's novel, as they were released in his time, got uniform nergative to underappreciated reviews. Here we have a loving podcast devoted to his "hits" (Blood Meridian, Suttree, All the Pretty Horses), yet we had TWO novel published within the year and the host and his panel of academic experts not only have ignored them, but dismiss them. Listen to the latest podcast in memorium to the great author: these "experts" take more time slagging his latest works than taking the time to brea... more
