"Little Women" with Mubtasin Zaman

Once Upon A Time: A Storytelling Podcast

It’s ASTONISHING! Few stories have such a stronghold on American Culture over a century after its original release. If you’ve never read or watched Little Women, you are in for a treat! Talia Smith and guest host Mubtasin Zaman go all out in this episode, examining the characters and representations of this classic tale. Christopher Columbus, it’s a good time!

DISCLAIMER: Talia might have thought the 1949 version of the film came out in 1948, please forgive her. As much as it pains it for her to admit, she is not perfect.
