New Cloister Talk Cover Art Unveiled for Season 4

New cover art for Season 4 of Cloister Talk: The Pennsylvania German Material Texts Podcast.

New cover art for Cloister Talk: The Pennsylvania German Material Texts Podcast has been unveiled, and it reflects the upcoming season’s slight shift of tone and content. 

The new season, titled “Pathways in Pennsylvania German Studies,” will broaden the scope of the podcast and provide a fulsome exploration of the state of Pennsylvania German studies today, while exploring possible directions for the Pennsylvania German Studies of tomorrow.  The new cover art captures visually both the mystery and spiritual depth inherent in early Pennsylvania's German Protestant traditions.

Season 4 of Cloister Talk is scheduled to debut in winter, 2022/2023.  Check back soon for more updates!  In the meanwhile, catch up on previous episodes at https://anchor.fm/cloistertalk.  Research and production of Season 4 of Cloister Talk was supported by the Jacob M. Price Digital Fellowship at the William L. Clements Library, a rare book and manuscript library at the University of Michigan, that specializes in print and manuscript materials on the history of North America and the Caribbean, with particular strengths in 18th and 19th century American history.  Learn more at https://clements.umich.edu/.
