About this episode
Welcome to Celebrate Poe - My name is George Bartley, and this is episode 238 - Remains of a Friend. Now I admit that examining Poe’s life - while certainly interesting and informative - can be a bit tedious at times. For a complete change of pace, I thought I would look at the pets of several famous writers for the next an episode or two - naturally ending with Edgar Allan Poe.
This episode deals with the fascinating story of Lord Byron and his love for his dog, Boatswain, and compares it to the inhuman treatment of the governor of South Dakota towards a puppy - and George remarks on how studying the past can help us understand the present.
