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!



In this episode, we tackle Carly Rae Jepsen's 2020 tragicomic holiday single It's Not Christmas Til Somebody Cries alongside Victor Hugo's dramatic portrait of the structure of suffering & the human character, Les Misérables. Is Jean Valjean actually santa claus? Is Santa a lie? Somewhere beyond the barricade, is there a world you long to see?
