Saddle up, Propagandos! This week, Conner is joined by Dr. Tore Olsson from the University of Tennessee to discuss his latest book Red Dead's History: A Video Game, An Obsession, and America's Violent Past. The conversations ranges from the deconstruction of the hillbilly myth to the portrayal of religiosity within the Red Dead games (or lack thereof) and wraps with what SHOULD be in the next Red Dead Redemption game. Obviously this interview is just a sneak peek of what is contained within the book, so if you like what you hear, pick up Dr. Olsson's book today!
