Two friends and academics recap classic literature and take it off its pedestal. In our seventy-fifth episode and opener for Season 7 (a whole year of fan favourites and camp classics), we look at something a bit highbrow (the opera) in the pulpiest, trashiest way (through this book). We introduce our new imaginary producer, Diane, wonder if this should be our first musical episode, and learn that Raoul is more than just the most hated man on all of Broadway: he's also the most hated man in literature.
Cover art © Catherine Wu.
Episode Theme: Verdi, 'Overture' in La Forza Del Destino.
Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
