Begun in 2010, this blog offers analysis and reflection by Susan Bailey on the life, works and legacy of Louisa May Alcott and her family. Susan is an active member and supporter of the Louisa May Alcott Society, the Fruitlands Museum and Louisa May Alcott's Orchard House.
“Let Genius Burn,” a Louisa May Alcott podcast on her life and legacy, co-hosted by Jamie Burgess and Jill Fuller is here!
The wait is over. The long-awaited eight-part podcast miniseries by Alcott scholars Jamie Burgess and Jill Fuller debuted today, July 12. Judging from the first episode, it has been worth the wait! Jill and Jamie are affable and knowledgeable hosts. They aim to tell the story of Louisa’s life through a series of “puzzle pieces” — various aspects of her life: author, sister, author, woman.
Just as I and so many of you have connected on a personal level with Louisa May Alcott, Jill and Jamie share how Alcott has inspired them in the introductory episode after presenting a brief biographical sketch of the Alcotts.
So treat yourself to this series, with a new episode each week, beginning on July 12, 2021. The podcast is available through iTunes, Spotify, or wherever you listen to podcast. Episodes are also available on their website: https://www.letgeniusburn.com/listen
