Mashreads Podcast

This week, we are joined by Colson Whitehead to chat about his book The Underground Railroad.  The book paints a portrait of slavery and American history by following Cora, a slave running away from a cruel plantation in Georgia. As she struggles to escape to freedom, Cora travels through the country, seeing how deeply slavery as shaped American life and how passionately citizens will fight to keep or destroy the institution. Join us as we chat about writing, history and The Underground Railroad.
