S3 Episode 47 - Doin' The Robot Nov 29, 2022

Show notes

Look, when you don't let the teens do some of the teen stuff, you're going to find yourself at your wit's ends with these teens. And that's what happening over there at Thrushcross Grange and Wuthering Heights. Some real Capulet/Montague vibes on today's episode.

S3 Episode 46 - Strongman Nov 22, 2022

Show notes

There are people who blow into town with a heaping load of attitude and make life miserable for everybody else. Somehow these people end up running things a lot of the time. It's curious, perhaps, but the past and present certainly bare the truth of it out. Alas.

S3 Episode 44 - 90% of Everything Nov 08, 2022

Show notes

Today's episode starts with a little monologue about cargo because - if this world is going to hell - don't we want to watch it burn with a steaming cup of English Breakfast tea in hand? You bet we do. What better place to receive such goods than a port city like the sultry Savannah?

S3 Episode 43 - Supine Nov 01, 2022

Show notes

Wuthering Heights is BACK! This is a pun regarding the supine position from which your host narrates today's episode. Linton Heathcliff has arrived and is no sooner at Thrushcross Grange than the whiny little imp is shipped off to Wuthering Heights, which does not bode well.

S3 Episode 42 - Rude Bred Kin Oct 25, 2022

Show notes

Who's to say who is the more rude bred of the kin: the dog hanger Hareton or the poorly mannered Cathy Jr. with her shameful behavior upon learning of her kin? Neither does themself proud, shall we say. And then we've got another cousin trundling to Thrushcross Grange, the sad Edward Gorey character Linton II, pale and wan and probably a fan of Joy Division.

S3 Episode 41 - On the Road to Penistone Crag Oct 18, 2022

Show notes

Young Miss Cathy is growing in leaps and bounds, a sweet lil' lass sheltered from the world by her dear papa. Well, what do you think happens? She gets it in her head to wonder about the space beyond the borders of Thrushcross Grange and nothing good can come from that!

S3 Episode 39 - An Elegant Term Oct 04, 2022

Show notes

Emily Bronte gives us a little joke in the midst of an action-packed episode of Obscure. Knives are out, fists are cuffed, feathers fly. All this plus even more canine comparisons!
