The Color Purple - The Movie and Musical
Podcast: Book Talk for BookTokPublished On: Thu May 28 2026
Description: Welcome to Academia Unlocked, our literary deep-dive series on Book Talk for BookTok! In this episode, we discuss the movie and musical adaptation of The Color Purple by Alice Walker. With over 13 years of combined academic training in literature and creative writing, we walk listeners through the foundational tools of reading beyond the surface. The book community talks about the "decline of literacy" constantly, but almost no one stops to define what literary literacy actually is or how to build it. This series exists to change that. Whether you've read The Color Purple once in high school or carry it with you everywhere, this episode will give you the critical lens to engage with it with more depth, more confidence, and a lot more to say.
