Two friends and academics recap classic literature and take it off its pedestal. In our eighteenth episode, we cover Virginia Woolf's trans, posho, time-traveling romp, Orlando (1928). Daniel once again gets into a row with medieval expert and enemy of the podcast, Justine; Abby once again gets into a row with friend of the podcast, Jonathan Swift; and we have 'Set the Scenes' on tap.
