Friday, September 10: Reflecting on the Beat Generation

This year marks the 30th anniversary of the death of Jack Kerouac, one of
the most influential and prominent leaders of the Beat Generation of the
1950s and 60s.  Along with Alan Ginsberg, Neal Cassady, and William
Burroughs, their literary circle forever changed America's literary,
religious, and artistic landscape.  They questioned authority, dabbled in
Eastern Religions, spawned musical greats like Bob Dylan, promoted drug
use, and introuduced new concepts in writing. Join guest host Steve
McFarland as he talks with experts from Miami University's Department of
Religion and Department of English about Kerouac and others, and how they
brought rebellion into the American mainstream.
