Episode Description:

The Dark Academics – Episode 1 – The Secret History of George P. Burdell 

For our debut episode, I bring two special guest speakers Nathan Buchanan, Georgia Tech Alumni, and Thomas Foskey, Dark Academia Expert, to discuss the connections between one of Dark Academia’s most prevalent novels “The Secret History” by Donna Tartt, and the imagined reality that is George P. Burdell. 

Come along for the ride, as we take you through the histories and lore of both respective stories and delve deep into their origins and themes woven into the fiction, before putting the two side by side and discerning their similarities and overall significance in the realms of dark academia, fiction, and storytelling. 

So sit back, relax, and enjoy the show.
