Hi LitGEEK--
I'm glad to see I'm not the only one preparing for the LitGRE; it gets awfully lonely out here in the realm of humanities when the world is run by the ever-practical sciences. Vade Mecum's website is amazingly comprehensive, and has similarly inspired my own website that has yet to be placed on a proper server.
I want to commend you on your podcast -- great idea. It serves as a very nice "refresher". I was wondering if you intend on using any practical examples. Slightly vague question, I know, but, for instance, on Episode 5 if you were to have a few examples of a Post-structuralist and Deconstuctionalist reading the definitions of the terms would be that much more effective. I suppose Postmodernism is more elusive and all-encompassing, but to perhaps read a few excerpts from a Postmodernist text and placing it against an excerpt from a Modernist text, the differences would be that much more memorable.
Regardless though, quite a good podcast. Keep it up, and I assure you I'll be listening.
