In this bonus episode we revisit Demeter and Persephone through an interview with Matilda Leyser about her novel No Season but the Summer, retelling the myth in the modern world.

I also review Savage Beasts, a retelling of Medea set in Calcutta when the East India Trading Company's reach is extending to engulf her land.
