Episode 2 | Everything That Rises Must Converge

About this Episode

The Jacksway Collective

In the second episode, The Jacksway Collective adds its third member, Gordon, thus completing the trio of ex-roommates. Together, they break down Flannery O'Connor's short story Everything That Rises Must Converge.

The discussion ranges from race relations, essentialism vs existentialism, to feminist film theory (how they got there, who the hell knows). As you quickly find out, the three navigate all over the place when deconstructing the text at hand.

The three also briefly introduce themselves and figure out what it is they're exactly trying to do with this podcast in real time. This is the beginning of a long journey for these guys.

Listen to The Jacksway Collective talk philosophy or fiction every week. A podcast where 20-somethings have in-depth, academic(ish), discussions about whatever the hell they want.

Note from the creators: Please hang in there as the sound quality DOES get better! We're working on our workflows and things are improving every day. Rome wasn't built in a day, nor was this.
