Description
Protagonist Podcast co-founder Todd Mack is back to discuss two short stories. “Circular Ruins” is by Jorge Luis Borges and tells the story of a wizard conjuring a being from his dreams. “An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge is by Ambrose Bierce and tells the story of a man about to be hanged during the Civil War. The two stories are wildly different, but do share affinities in terms of twist endings and raising questions about what is real.
