A Novel Adaptation15 Mar 2020

37 - To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee

Join us for one of our favorite stories ever. And not just the ones we read for the podcast. These weighty themes propel us into commentary that is just as scathing today as it was when it came out in 1960. One of us confesses her real feelings for Atticus Finch, goes on a rant about the publication of Go Set a Watchman, and we go in-depth about what we'd really like to know about Boo Radley.

Episode Drink: The Tequila Mockingbird

1.5 oz of tequila

2 drops of hot sauce

1 dill pickle

Pour tequila into a shot glass, add the hot sauce, and slam it back. Chase with a pickle. Don't cry about it.

Recipe From: Tequila Mockingbird Book by Tim Federle

Our Drinking Game for this Story

Take a drink:

When someone in town gossips
After you cringe when someone says negro, colored, or the n-word
Every time Atticus explains something
Every time you fantasize about Atticus in a naughty way.
Take another swig to wash away your shame you naughty girl/boy
