I started collecting the transcript links for the first season of the O’Parables podcast in one place for those who need or want to read them.
If you’re unfamiliar with Parable of the Sower by Octavia E. Butler (1993), it’s a fictional account of surviving societal breakdown which has uncanny relevance to today. The story spans a journey of three years from 2024-2027, detailing the decisions and actions of a teenage leader and the people she gathers to form community against apocalypse.
Adrienne Maree Brown and Toshi Reagon take us on a weekly chapter-by-chapter analysis with pertinent commentary on how events presented by Butler provide a guide for navigating difficult and challenging times.
