Ep. 26: 'The Outsiders' by S.E. Hinton Makes People Feel like Insiders

In this episode of 'Adaptation: The Book to Movie Podcast,' Nate and Chris dive into S.E. Hinton's 'The Outsiders,' a classic that most folks both read and fall in love with in school - the heartbreaking tale of Ponyboy, who is entangled in a crime he's not exactly guilty of.

Chris also reached out to English teachers to ask about why this book, and its film adaptation directed by Francis Ford Coppola, are so beloved and so enduring across generations of readers.
