From Phillip Marlowe to Indiana Jones, the Lone Ranger to Lassie: The great characters of American fiction, folklore and pop culture have both reflected and shaped the country's moods, fears, frailties, hopes and dreams. What do they say about society? About individual experience? About the comedy and complexity of who we are? NPR explores these characters in a six-month series.
All of this series would make a nice collection to keep. Can find the latest shows by clicking HERE and can find the past ones (37 shows) in ARCHIVES.
