Never enough! This week, V and Emily travel back to TWIFH’s oldest historical event thus far: opera singer Jenny Lind’s landmark 1850 tour in the United States and its accompanying “Lindmania.” Did you know that the fangirls of 1850 were Just Like Us? They sobbed, they squeed, they schemed to meet their faves, and they spent way, WAY too much on concert tickets. The quotes from antebellum Lind fans reacting to hearing secular music for the first time give us the chills. Come wait outside the stage doors with us for a glimpse at the Swedish Nightingale.

Super Sorry - Have you ever watched a Marvel movie and thought, "Wow, somebody really owes somebody an apology?" Like Tony Stark and Steve Rogers in Civil War. Or Thor and Loki about... well, everything. That's the question at the heart of SUPER SORRY, a podcast that revisits the Marvel Cinematic Universe one movie at a time through the lens of apologies, accountability, and unintended consequences. Revisiting one MCU movie at a time, Super Sorry hosts Amber and Todd break down who should have apologized, who deserved an apology, and imagine the conversations that could have happened. They also explore the emotional, physical, and financial fallout of superhero action, from damaged relationships to city-wide destruction and billion-dollar cleanup efforts. Whether you're a longtime MCU fan or just enjoy thoughtful pop culture discussions, SUPER SORRY offers a fresh perspective on movies you thought you knew inside and out. You can find SUPER SORRY wherever you listen to podcasts.
Re: Dracula - Re: Dracula takes the famous horror tale, breaks it up chronologically (every entry of this epistolary novel has a date), and sends the story directly to your podcatcher as it happens. Every time something happens to the characters, Re: Dracula publishes an episode, in as close to real time as it happens. Some episodes are short (less than a minute), and others are lengthy (over half an hour). Re: Dracula is a faithful, text-accurate adaptation, featuring a full cast to tug on your heartstrings and sound design to keep you on the edge of your seat.
Two Thousand and Late - TWO THOUSAND AND LATE is a new fiction podcast from the creator of The Bright Sessions - a dark comedy that grapples with the havoc of our current moment and tries to find the hope inside of it. In the 10-episode first season, we follow Harper, a thirty-six year old nihilist whose life is upended when she’s possessed by a demon hell-bent on bringing about the apocalypse. Harper doesn’t want to end the world, but the demon gives her more power than she’s had in her life in a long time. In a world where so many people abuse their power, will Harper be any different? Blending sharp satire with genre flair and wickedly lovable antiheroes, Two Thousand and Late is ideal for fans of Fleabag, Killing Eve, The Craft, Jennifer’s Body, Yellowjackets, True Blood, and Venom. It’s a potent cocktail of feminist rage, queer power, and supernatural mischief. It’s unapologetically angry, surprisingly tender, and deeply entertaining.
