The Decline of the Humanities | Yan Margolin | The Pens and Poison Podcast EP 1

Welcome to the Pens and Poison Podcast! This is not your ordinary literature podcast. Join writer Liza Libes as she explores the state of humanities education, the publishing industry, and the literary world at large through a series of spicy interviews, hot takes, and literary ramblings. 

On today’s episode, Liza Libes talks to Yan Margolin, attorney at law, who comes with some interesting takes on the current state of academia and humanities education. Join us as we fight it out about Theodor Adorno and Mary Shelley and feel free to let us know whom you agree with most in the comments! 

If you want more of Yan, you can check out his recent interview with Nick Shirley here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OZFGbQvVmlU&t=803s 

Special thank you to composer Nathaniel Lindstrom for providing the track “Quartz Moth” for today’s sound effects.
