Jack Kerouac meets the bear in today's episode of Mr. Karl's Lit-Cast!

Mr. Karl's Lit-Cast is a literature-inspired podcast aimed primarily at students displaced from their normal educational setting by the coronavirus pandemic of 2020.

Each episode asks the kids to look at an excerpt from a different piece of literature, consider it with relation to their experience of the current situation, and then journal about it.

Benjamin Karl is a student teacher from Oakland University and working in the Michigan Public School system. 

These podcasts are intended for educational use.

"Alone on a Mountaintop" by Jack Kerouac was first published in Holiday magazine in 1958 and again in Lonesome Traveler in 1960. It is read here, for purposes of education and commentary, without written permission, from Pearson's Literature and the Environment: A Reader on Nature and Culture 2nd. Ed. No harm is intended.
