a friendly seasonal podcast of frivolous stories and the joy of literature.
hosted by @folly and katherine
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!
I’ll be Pod for Castmas, the four-times-a-year show breaking down christmas pop culture using the tools literature and vice versa, begins its Christmas in July season today!
Katherine and Juliet tackle the inimitable Persuasion, Jane Austen's final novel, alongside the Netflix swapped-identities Princess-and-Pauper-Except-She's-A-Princess-Now-Too christmas-special-sequel The Princess Switch: Switched Again. You can find a transcript of the episode here. This time, though, with one host abroad internationally, and the other pitifully ill in a most dainty and becoming way, we break ground with an epistolary podcast, mailing letters back and forth over the atlantic to ensure a happy castmas. Can the distance of time and distance be overcome? Or will stormy seas sink our precious podcast partnership?
Check out this episode — and stay tuned next week to find out!
