Wednesday English With Charlie: Book to Movie Adaptations

Book to movie adaptations have always been controversial, and few moreso than this year's adaptation of the classic novel Wuthering Heights. Critics and fans alike panned the film for its lack of authenticity to the original work, amongst other reasons. But this leads to the question: what makes for a good film adaptation of a book? Is there any way to satisfy both filmgoers and diehard fans of the original work? Does it even matter? Join us this week to discuss all this and more!

George Washington is considered the father of the United States of America. He represents for many, the ideal of what it means to be an American. But who was George Washington, really?

How did he set precedents for the Presidency that we still adhere to to this day. Join us this week to discuss all things George Washington!
