Lit podcast for GCSE and A Level students📚
This is a podcast I’ve started listening to recently which, to be honest, is great for anyone studying literature. I’m certainly learning a lot myself.
Benjamin McEvoy provides excellent introductions to a number of classic texts studied at GCSE and A Level, offering valuable contextual information and an overview of the literary criticism for each deep dive. He also offers great suggestions as to how to better read and study each text which I think is particularly useful.
Here’s a list of some podcasts which will be useful for GCSE, A Level and undergraduate students:
Shakespeare’s plays
Pre-19th century literature
The Importance of Being Earnest
Poems
Modern prose and drama
Podcasts are great because they allow you to learn while on the move or pottering around the house. Let me know if there are any literature podcasts you listen to in the comments.
Best,
