One True Podcast
One True Podcast delves into all things related to Hemingway, his work, and his world. The show is hosted by Mark Cirino and produced by Michael Von Cannon. Join us in conversation with scholars, artists, government officials, and other luminaries as we explore Hemingway's life and legacy.
The show is supported by the Hemingway Society and Foundation, the University of Evansville, and Florida Gulf Coast University. Numerous people have made this endeavor possible:
- Digital artist Julene Ewert designed the cover image.
- Pianist Jeremy Kahn performed the intro song, “The Leicester Waltz,” which was originally composed by Grace Hall Hemingway.
- The outro song, "Tutti Mi Chiamano Bionda”—which Hemingway and Mary sang together the night before he shuffled off this mortal coil—was performed by the following University of Evansville music faculty, students, and alumni: Dennis Malfatti (Professor of Music; music coordinator; accordion), Griffin Devoy (voice), Michael Kmiecik (guitar), and Adam Smith (voice/audio technician).

In this episode, we explore Hemingway and John Dos Passos, their service in the American Red Cross during World War I, their writing careers, and their doomed friendship.
Today's show places Ernest Hemingway alongside one of his artistic contemporaries: F. Scott Fitzgerald. Part friendship and part rivalry, their complex relationship has all the twists and turns of a good novel about two characters that, at least on the surface, seem vastly different.
