In which Joel and Basie talk about J. V Foix's "At the Entrance to an Underground Station, Bound Hand and Foot by Customs Officials, I Saw How Marta Set Off in a Train for the Frontier. I Wanted to Smile at her, but a Policelike Militiaman Carried Me Off With His Own Family, and Set Fire to the Woods" written in September, 1936. We found the poem in David H Rosenthal's "Modern Catalan Poetry: An Anthology," published first by New Rivers Press in 1996. If you're interested in hearing the poem read in Catalan (which is beautiful, check it out): http://www.ccma.cat/catradio/alacarta/programa/josep-vicenc-foix-a-lentrada-duna-estacio-subterrania/video/4492131/#Joel mentioned Karina Longworth's You Must Remember This podcast, and Grace Kelly: http://www.youmustrememberthispodcast.com/episodes/2017/4/10/grace-kelly-dead-blondes-episode-11 Basie mentioned this article: https://docs.lib.purdue.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1108&context=artlas She also mentioned Tim O'Brien's The Things They Carried: http://www.sparknotes.com/lit/thingscarried/section1/Catalan Current Events: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/jun/01/catalonia-independence-crisis-new-spain-pm-pedro-sanchez-mariano-rajoy https://www.aljazeera.com/indepth/opinion/awe-spain-progressive-government-180618144356144.htmlIf you want to learn more about J.V.
