APPLE PODCASTS | SOUNDCLOUD | SPOTIFY
Nuttiness ensues as we talk the lore of E.T.A. Hoffman’s THE NUTCRACKER and its subsequent ballet, film, and book adaptations. We also take a trip to the technopunk fairyland of Claire Legrand’s 2014 YA novel WINTERSPELL.
Be prepared for hero-villain romances, Drosselmeyer wank, Rat King thirst, and bisexual rep done right, as we settle in for the holidays.
