I'll be Pod for Castmas

Our final episode of the 2023 Les Mis season is here! Juliet and Katherine dive deeper into the sadness, joy, and fantastic realism of the characters of Gavroche, Eponine, and Javert through the lens of Jorge Luis Borges' "The Shape of the Sword" and Carly Rae Jepsen's "It's Not Christmas Til Somebody Cries".

If you can't get enough Les Mis content, you can also check out our Winter 2023 bonus episode over on the Moonshot Network's patreon, where we dig deeper into the zany action comedy of things in the les mis book that don't make it into the award-winning musical.

Happy holidays everyone, and we'll see you all next year!

what's that? Oh, it's the new episode of I'll Be Pod for Castmas, with a mailbag episode covering The Princess Switch: Switched Again, Jane Austen's Persuasion, the artistry of eyebrows defining identity, the importance of names (of literature), whether heraclitus applies to love stories, and of course, Sonic the Hedgehog wearing a tuxedo.

You can catch it wherever podcasts are found!
