Welcome to Celebrate Poe - Episode 286 - Clinton and Collins: The Language of God

Before we jump into this episode, I want to announce what is perhaps the most ambitious undertaking that Celebrate Poe has ever published - the 2024 Halloween episode - combining appropriate sound effects with Poe’s story. This Halloween episode combines The Pit and the Pendulum with some observations regarding contemporary politics, and I decided to go ahead and call it Politics and the the Pendulum. This episode will also mark the return of the Ghost of Edgar Allan Poe and a renewed emphasis regarding the life, times, and works of the writer. I plan to release Politics and the Pendulum on October 31 - the morning of Halloween

Now, as we get closer and closer to Election Day in the United States, I want to change the subject of the current series of Celebrate Poe - this podcast will be the final episode - at least for now - where I delve into great speeches by great Americans. In fact, parts of today’s podcast have a slight connection to Edgar Poe - but I will get into that later. As many of you may know, I am from the relatively small town of Staunton, Virginia - also the hometown of Dr. Francis Collins - the subject of today’s podcast. Dr. Collins just might be one of the greatest Americans who has ever lived, and by the time this episode is over, you just might agree with me.
