WARNING: We're sorry for the inconsistent volume levels! Anastasia's laptop won't recognize their mic input, so they had to use their bluetooth headphones.

In this episode, your hosts are joined by special guest Sarah, co-host of the HorrorSlashStories podcast, for an in-depth discussion of Weyward by Emilia Hart. Together, they explore the novel’s themes of bodily and social autonomy within patriarchal structures, retributive justice, and the concept of legacy as a conduit to immortality. The conversation examines how these motifs resonate across the lives of the novel’s three protagonists within each of their historical contexts. Your hosts wrap up the episode by connecting everything back to the idea (and illusion) of control.
