  • 1. From Oz to Orwell

    36:36||Season 5, Ep. 1
    It's funny how two completely different stories can leave you thinking about the same thing.This autumn, I finally got around to watching the Wicked films, while also spending time reading George Orwell. And somewhere between the Land of Oz and Orwell's writing, I found myself questioning something.Who decides who's good, who's wicked, and which version of the truth we're supposed to believe?From the stories we're told to the opinions we form about people we've never met, there's something fascinating, and sometimes unsettling, about how easily our understanding of the world can be shaped.I wanted to explore what happens when we stop accepting the story at face value and start asking a few questions of our own.Because sometimes, understanding the truth means looking beyond the person we've been told is the villain.The Wonderful Wizard of Oz - L. Frank Baum Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West - Gregory Maguire1984 - George Orwell
