Adam HamiltonSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Not really her house because she wasn't real, but it does have props from the movie inside of it.
Adam HamiltonSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Over here was the museum that was period items from when L. Frank Baum wrote the book or when the movie was produced.
Adam HamiltonSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
And in the middle was a statue, a bronze statue of Dorothy.
Adam HamiltonSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
And there's a push button and a yellow brick road all around.
Robert W. SullivanGUEST
The Wizard of Oz citation throws it into another realm.
Robert W. SullivanGUEST
And that leads me to believe that there was a Native American death hex put down on L. Frank Baum.
Robert W. SullivanGUEST
And the reason I say that is because Baum, of course, wrote The Wizard of Oz stories.
Robert W. SullivanGUEST
And I believe right after the Battle of Wounded Knee, he actually called for the genocide of Native Americans there.
Gary ArndtSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
There are illustrations of witches on brooms dating back from the same time period.
Gary ArndtSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
The stereotypical image we have of witches wearing pointy black hats actually come from L. Frank Baum's book The Wizard of Oz in the year 1900.
Gary ArndtSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
The illustrations of witches in the book were the basis of the Wicked Witch of the West and The Wizard of Oz movie, which became the modern idea of a witch.
Gary ArndtSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Black hats have always been bad luck, and they have always been associated with witches.
Nate LaneHOST
I think I did hear that.
Nate LaneHOST
Oh no, that's an odd one, but he also did a, uh, a, uh, a Frank Baum, uh, the guy that did the wizard of Oz books back in the, I just
Brayden DeckerHOST
saw that.
Brayden DeckerHOST
Yeah.
Mike ElganHOST
This is a high-tech story for children, deliberately written as such.
Mike ElganHOST
And so what I've done is I've realized that the book has become exactly what L. Frank Baum intended it to not be, which is an old-timey, old-fashioned book.
Mike ElganHOST
That's what it is to us now.
Mike ElganHOST
But he intended it to exactly not be that.
Andrew RimbyHOST
Well, and...
Andrew RimbyHOST
I love also when you're going into the origin and the backstory of L. Frank Baum's creation with the Wicked Witch of the West, but also the other female characters that like you say.
Andrew RimbyHOST
She's so easily been categorized as an anti-heroine, but like that's not the full picture, like there's actually.
Andrew RimbyHOST
more depth and you can look to Bom's own life.
Lona BaileyGUEST
And of course the book came out in 1900.
Lona BaileyGUEST
And I believe she passed away, I think it was two years before the book was actually released.
Lona BaileyGUEST
But you're talking about very, very repressed, period of time and she was a free thinker she was very vocal about her beliefs which were very much othered by society and she was often called a witch because she was seen as so dangerous to the traditional values and the traditional gender roles of that very oppressed period of time And, of course, L. Frank Baum was influenced greatly by her.
Lona BaileyGUEST
There were many, many conversations, philosophical and political conversations around the dinner table and over breakfast.
Ed BlalockHOST
No, it doesn't.
Damian HarmonyHOST
It is what I did when I discovered L. Frank Baum had predicted this.
Damian HarmonyHOST
It is an economy whereby you are running up a sand dune and at best you're standing still and most of the time you're burying people behind you.
Damian HarmonyHOST
Yeah.
Emily Kay ShraderHOST
Or chasing Judy Garland-sized rainbows.
Tara TagliaferroHOST
Or perhaps providing our Frank, L. Frank to be exact, analysis of Wicked for Good.
Tara TagliaferroHOST
Don't be

offended.

Non-canonical.
Justin HartHOST
That faint low rumble you're hearing in the background, by the way, is the sound of L. Frank Baum doing cartwheels from his grave.
Justin HartHOST
Speaking of, apparently Dorothy's house landed on the wrong witch.
Justin HartHOST
Who knew? Mr.
