  • This is Halloween!
    Halloween! Halloween! Maggie and Julia take a turn down spooky lane and dive into two classic novels - Frankenstein and Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. There's nothing quite like looking to the past for some autumnal chills. 
    Luckily, Maggie talks about the potential REAL LIFE Mr. Hyde, allows her true English degree spirit to shine, and is thankful she didn't have to reread Frankenstein for the 5th time.  And Julia is certain that Mary Shelley is a gothic icon, a queen, and a personal hero. Overall, a successful day of podcasting for them both.
