ADOW S1E5
So much happens! Ysabeau spills the tea on Matthew's past, we get to see vampires hunting, we watch the Congregation plotting (together and against one another!), and we learn how Matthew actually feels about Diana. There's other things thrown in there like the Knights of Lazarus, mating, suicide, and schmexy science-y stuff. Our wary hearts are eventually gifted with the reunion of Matthew and Diana! And then, CLIFFHANGER!
EPISODE 5
From the press release:
Gillian pays a heavy price for her disloyalty to Diana, but not before news that vampires are studying witch DNA reaches Knox. The fall-out threatens the fragile equilibrium between creatures and the focus is on ending Matthew and Diana’s relationship whatever the cost. Agatha treads a careful line of democracy at the Congregation, but Nathaniel continues to instigate daemon direct-action. Ysabeau relies on shock tactics to expel Diana until Matthew returns with breathtaking news about Diana’s DNA. Diana and Matthew are finally united in love, only for the unexpected to happen.

ADOW S1E4
We meet Ysabeau, Marthe, Baldwin, and we get to see The Congregation assemble. Seriously, what could go wrong? Dinner, dancing, glaem, romance, ALL fantastic! Until Domenico shows up ... (plays suspense music right here). We're at the pivotal mid-point of the series; we laugh, swoon, rail, and wail!
EPISODE 4
From the press release:
Matthew’s hope of keeping Diana safe at Sept-Tours appears short-lived as Ysabeau refuses to welcome the warmblood under her roof. Knox calls an emergency meeting of the Congregation to denounce Matthew for abducting a witch but Matthew’s ferocious older brother Baldwin plays a careful game to maintain control in the face of Gerbert foretelling the end of the de Clermonts – and throws Diana to the lions. Diana isn’t the only witch facing persecution. Satu pays a shocking price for her curiosity when Knox discovers she has been searching through the Witches’ Archive and learned his guilty secret. Meanwhile, things turn nasty in Oxford for Marcus and Miriam as Juliette attacks.

ADOW S1E3
Well, here it is. The Old Lodge, the dinner and as Angela says, phase 1 of Operation Tenth Knot begins . . .
EPISODE 3
From the press release:
Domenico takes information he’s extracted from Satu to menacing vampire Gerbert, who gains the advantage he has been waiting for. After sending Juliette into the world to do his bidding, Gerbert consults with Meridiana, the witch whom he keeps in thrall, but what does the prophecy she delivers mean? In Oxford, Diana refuses to help Knox realize his supremacist longing to destroy the vampires and answers his threats with such a violent force of untamed elemental power, as to set in motion a wider chain of events that bring her closer to Matthew but place her in even greater jeopardy.

Listeners, you really are in for a treat today! Fresh from her attendance of the National Television Awards, Deb dropped in to talk A Discovery of Witches with us. Pull up a chair to the Daemon table, and join us while we have a visit with an executive producer of the show, a historian, a professor, the author/creator of the All Souls universe, and now an official friend of the pod. There are show spoilers, so if you haven't watched the entire series, you may want to wait, but if you don't mind, neither do we - enjoy!
This is a bonus episode, so we remain on schedule to publish A Discovery of Witches - Season 1, Episode 3 Thursday evening for US/Canadian subscribers, and Friday morning world wide, as originally planned.

Traveling further in the small-screen universe, we meet some new characters on screen: Juliette, Hamish, Domenico and Gerbert! All sorts of things seem to be happening around Matthew and Diana, and we work our way through the events, and hash out our flurry of thoughts as the characters work through their drama!
EPISODE 2
From the press release:
Blind to the interest she has stirred among creatures, Diana fights an increasing pull towards the magical and turns her back on her witch heritage, but matters take an unexpectedly dark turn when Satu is sent by Peter Knox to intimidate her. In Venice, beautiful but murderous Juliette has her fatal obsession with Matthew reawakened. And just as Diana decides to trust Matthew with a secret only she knows about the book, he flees in a desperate bid to protect her from his cravings. But in so doing, he leaves Diana exposed to all her enemies.

Our impressions, feelings, nitpicking, drooling, squee-ing, dying on/over episode one, series/season (pick your flavor) one of A Discovery of Witches
EPISODE 1
From the press release:
In Oxford’s Bodleian library, brilliant American historian and reluctant witch Diana Bishop unwittingly calls up an ancient magical manuscript, Ashmole 782, which has been missing for centuries, and finds herself confronted by acclaimed geneticist and vampire Matthew Clairmont, who is determined to get his hands on the book. Diana’s determination not to be frightened by Matthew as he struggles to control his predatory instincts around her fuels a dangerous connection between the two of them. When news of the book’s appearance spreads throughout the world of daemons, vampires and witches hiding in plain sight among humans, the hunt for the witch who summoned it takes on a deadly intensity.

It's our holiday episode! We love to test the waters with different traditions, and this year we are doing Festivus (of Seinfield fame)! Feats of Strength! Festivus Miracles! Airing of Grievances! We also have a relaxed imaginary fireside chat. We reflect on aspects of the series, the fandom, answer questions, and share parts of our weird Daemon lives. After this episode, we are on a holiday break until January 3rd! Happy Holidays, and have a joyous 2019!

All Souls Con 2019 is coming sooner than we think! As is our tradition (since the beginning of this podcast), we invited Laura Ventura (co-director of All Souls Con) on to talk about it. As fate would have it, Angela was unable to record that day, so Laura graciously agreed to join us as our third. This episode can only be described as fans being fanatics! We cover the Cardiff premiere of A Discovery of Witches, what Laura can reveal about All Souls Con. We indulge ourselves a little in this period of relative calm, while we anticipate the incoming fandom storm.
Chapter episodes will resume next year after our TV coverage! This is the penultimate episode of 2018.
