  • A Great Discovery

    Niche and nerdy in the most wonderful way! A scholarly romp! And a very Diana-Wynne-Jones-worthy mixture of the serious with the magical and hilarious. This show has been my first great discovery of 2026 and I can’t wait to listen all the way through.

  • They solved Fire and Hemlock

    It’s been decades since I did any close reading of literature, and as a science professor I’m unlikely to do it in the future, so I’m very glad to listen in on the brilliance. Reading the books in order is a great approach that’s uncovering themes in a really cool way, and I’m not kidding, I think they made the most sense of Fire and Hemlock I’ve ever heard. That Hugo nomination is very well deserved!
