[Apologies for the delays. Struggles with perfecting the script were then swallowed up my malfunctioning fire alarms. Hard to say which is worse for a podcaster, really...]

Adaptations are... Well, we want them to be an art form, but they also promise to be profitable considering there's already a cultivated batch of consumes. But that doesn't mean they can't be done right.

M considers the subject. After having to revamp her script because of an announcement...

[Studio Note: As Miscellany Media Studios prepares to expand, the posting schedule for Miscellany Media Reviews has been shifted a week to try and minimize audience-cannibalization. The biweekly model will continue going forward.]

Some mail delays put off this episode, but woo boy, the book was worth the wait for M! This episode not so much...

But anyway, today, M wants to talk about an important kind of book. She calls it "The Gateway Book," as an adapted term from one of her English teachers. Can a book be so good that it can convince you to get back into reading a certain type of book? The answer is obviously, yes.

In this episode, M takes the opportunity to almost rant about societal conceptions about motherhood but actual complain about our fascination with fictionalized accounts of Henry VIII. Consider that a warning.

More important, M takes the opportunity to tell you about two podcasts that tell amazing stories: one personal and one historical. There's a way to do both right, so let's celebrate the ones that do.
