S2 E4: Witch Week
"He was fairly sure it made you wicked too, to be kissed by a witch."
The horrors of the British boarding school, the things you learn about yourself in the men's locker room, and what the Chrestomanci series is really about (it's Chrestomanci.)
S2 E1: The Magicians of Caprona
Tonino wondered how he could laugh like that at something so horrible until he remembered that he had stood himself a score of times and laughed himself sick at just the same thing.
Two households both alike in comedy, in fair Caprona where we lay our first episode for Eight Days of Diana Wynne Jones, Season Two: the Eighties.
S1 E6: Charmed Life
"God bless her dear little sugar-coated shining soul."
The English class system, American science fiction, and the Problem of Gwendolen.
(Please pardon our audio this week as we dealt with travel and microphone issues!)
