"There Will Come Soft Rains" by acclaimed writer Ray Bradbury was published in 1950. This science fiction story depicts a technological home that stands alone. The title of the story originates from a poem by Sara Teasdale, which is included in the story. In this episode, with special guest Meghan Murphy from The Book Rewind, your favorite literary nerds discuss the theme of the story, the meaning of the poem within it, and the catastrophic events that led to this quiet dystopia.
Hannah proves (yet again) that she is NOT GOOD at history. Jon gets deep on us immediately, so prepare your tissues. And with Meghan, they make so many references, we'd like you to count along with us. They also have a counter for how many times they say "like" in this episode, because it is an astounding amount. (But seriously, if someone counts, I'd buy them a coffee!)
