Tune in to our first ever episode here! Chop it up with Ness (they/them) and the Head of the UIC English department, Professor Peter Coviello (he/him). They discuss Prince, Walt Whitman and how he was gay, and how long novels are for you (who told you they weren’t?)

Thanks for listening folks. Resources are below. Take care and be well:)
