Ep. 191 (Preview): Heroes From Nowhere (Orphan Hero Myth, Part 1)
10:34 Share

Teen and Adam shoot the shit about why America loves their heroes to come from basically nowhere, orphans or nearly so. From Huck Finn and Tom Sawyer all the way to Spiderman, why the particular obsession with it in America versus other cultures? This is the episode we made reference to in the last free episode, Ep. 190: Why do American Heroes Never Have Parents? (ft. Mtume) (https://soundcloud.com/plan-a-magazine/ep-190-why-do-american-heroes-never-have-parents-ft-mtume).
