Hey, I'm David Kern.

I'm Heidi Way.

And I'm Sean Johnson.

And you are listening to Close Reads, a podcast for the Incurable Reader on which we are discussing O Pioneers, Willa Cather, what was the other one?

Catter's, Catter.

Cater.

Oh, Pioneers.

And in particular, we are answering your questions about O Pioneers.

Our conversations were, I thought, quite enjoyable.

I had a great time talking about this book.

How much? I had a great time reading this book.

But listen, there's lots of questions out there that can only add to the conversation.

And so we are going to, we're going to dig into

some of those and answer as many as we can over the next literally one hour. That's the amount of time

that we have today to do this. Because as we have said on previous episodes, this is a

ridiculously busy time of year for all of us. So we apologize if we're not giving you hour

and a half episodes as often as you would

like.

Although the bonus mystery episodes do tend to go nice and long if you're interested in that.

We got time for that.

We got time for murder.

That's right.
