Overdue

Overdue is a podcast about the books you've been meaning to read. Join Andrew and Craig each week as they tackle a new title from their backlog. Classic literature, obscure plays, goofy children’s books: they'll read it all, one overdue book at a time.

Ep 445 – Topdog/Underdog, by Suzan-Lori Parks

This Pulitzer Prize-winning play is about two brothers, Lincoln and Booth, and the elaborate con that is their shared history. Tune in for a conversation about Suzan-Lori Parks’ place in American theater, some patter from the street game three-card monte, and the open question that haunts your hosts: who is top dog of Overdue?
