Published abstract: Season 4 begins and finally reveals the 2nd in a Special Series on men with the middle name Allan or Alan: Dr. Timothy Scherman waxes Poetic as he schools Bill & James on how to mash-up Thomas Alan Waits & Edgar Allan Poe. Candles are lit and the cognac is open at midnight at the end of Poe's birthday, so drink up and bury the confetti!

Mine: In this podcast I had a chance to bring the ideas I presented at a Poe session at ALA in 2015 to a popular audience. Poe and Waits have an awful lot in common that has never been acknowledged.
