469: Halloween 2026 - “The Tell-Tale Heart,” “The Black Cat,” and “The Raven”

TRIGGER WARNING - Violence against Animals

Nevermore! Welcome to pcmc Halloween 2026! Our annual month-long celebration of the greatest time of year! On today's show we continue this year's focus on the work of the great Edgar Allan Poe. In this episode, Mike and regular guest, Anthony Bongiorno, got together to discuss some selected literature by Poe. It's a deep dive into the language, tone, and meaning behind the short stories "The Tell-Tale Heart" and "The Black Cat." But that's not all! Mike and Anthony also discuss and analyze Poe's most enduring poem, "The Raven." This episode gets super-nerdy and that's how we like it. If you like what you hear, come back next week for mo' Poe!
