Castle of Otranto: Gothic Horror The Gilbert & Sullivan Edition

Welcome to this week’s episode, where we take a rolllicking tour through Horace Walpole’s ‘The Castle of Otranto’, widely considered the first ever Gothic Horror novel. We discuss unmitigated chaos, the incredible diversity of character motivations, and - of course - whether the cat would approve.

The long way to a small angry planet: Roads? Where We’re Going, We Make The Roads

This week, we gush about Becky Chambers’ first novel, The Long Way to a Small Angry Planet. Join us as we talk about humanism when not all the characters are human, why we actually wouldn’t punch any of the characters, and how much this book is just a big warm hug in word form. This episode also includes an excellent recommendation of British desserts if you ever are travelling in the future

Warning! Green tea does, despite what is implied in this episode, contain a reasonable amount of caffeine and is not Doctor Chef approved to be labelled as "boring tea".
