    Episode 60 - The Bloody Chamber
    2024/10/30

    Two friends and academics recap classic literature and take it off its pedestal. In our sixtieth episode and Halloween special, we examine Angela Carter's feminist novella and Bluebeard retelling (which is NOT an adult version of a fairy tale), The Bloody Chamber (1979). In this episode, Daniel expresses Carter-fatigue and we praise Carter's depiction of sex with someone gross.

    Episode Theme: Bela Bartok, Duke Bluebeard's Castle, an Opera in One Act, 1965.

    Episode 59a - Don Quixote, Part One

    Two friends and academics recap classic literature and take it off its pedestal. In the first part of our fifty-ninth episode, we tackle the first half of the biggest book we've ever featured on the show: Miguel de Cervantes's Picaresque adventure, Don Quixote (1605).We look at its status as potential 'first novel', one of the most influential works of all time (from Shakespeare to Dumas to Forrest Gump), and debate which of the two hosts is the Quixote and which one is the Sancho Panza.

    Episode 58 - To Kill a Mockingbird
    2024/08/14

    Two friends and academics recap classic literature and take it off its pedestal. In our fifty-eighth episode, we once again cross the Atlantic for Harper Lee's 1960 novel of racial injustice, To Kill A Mockingbird. We get some long-overdue Cornish slander, delve into the American legalistic mindset, and mutter a lot about grits and yams.
