Every year King's College in London puts on a Greek Play so in anticipation of going Lauren and Charlotte recorded a special episode. Joined by Oliver Graham (the second year student in charge of directing this years play) they learn about which play is being put on, how it's being put on and are generally just hyped up about it. Oliver was an absolute sweetie and the girls had the best time talking to them and hopefully Oliver will come and nerd out with them again in the future *hint hint to Oliver*. If incest is your thing but hopefully it isn't either way a good time will be had!

Lauren and Charlotte talk to the wonderful J.M.Miro about the first book in the Talents series - Ordinary Monsters. Pitched to the girls as Dickensian X-men meets Northern Lights they were all over it. It blends horror, fantasy and realism and it's the thickest book they've read for the podcast so far.

Since we're now in Spring Charlotte and Lauren thought it would be fitting to look at myths related to flowers in Greek Mythology (since there's multiple). Over the next few minisodes you can expect to learn about where some of your favourite flowers came from.
This episode they cover Echo and Narcissus and Apollo and Hyacinth  and there's a lot of stunning artwork along with it.
