- Episode 5: Belinda by Maria Edgeworth
To be fair, we should probably warn you that we only talk about the main character for approximately 10 seconds. The other 40+ minutes of this episode are devoted to the inimitable Lady Delacour, whose motto is most likely some version of RuPaul's "we're all born naked and the rest is drag." This episode is brought to you by psychosomatic tumors, pig bladders, and cosmetics that will probably kill you.
43 min - Episode 4: Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen
Ellis is on "sabbatical," so Brynn and Cris go slightly wild with the first in a series of C18/early C19 novels, Sense and Sensibility by the inimitable Jane Austen. We drink our first Totally Made Up Cocktail, discuss class inequality, and wonder if all the men in this novel are trash. Spoiler alert: probably. This episode is brought to you by too many feelings, #firstworldproblems, and ignoring your kid sister.
42 min - Episode 3: A Simple Story by Elizabeth InchbaldThere's lots of great stuff in this late-eighteenth-century novel but of course, we focus on the sexxxy. Wanna discuss gendered expectations, anger issues, and whether or not Miss Milner was justified in her infidelity? We've got you. This episode is brought to you by defrocked priests, disowned daughters, and calling out enslavers.40 min
- Episode 2: Salome of the Tenements by Anzia YezierskaThings are gonna get political AF, Dear Readers. This early 20th-century novel about the Jewish immigrant experience in America has us fired up and in our cups. This episode is brought to you by soggy brown loaves, magic grey dresses, and double consciousness.44 min
- Episode 1: Fanny Hill, or, Memoirs of a Woman of Pleasure by John Cleland
Let's talk about sex, baby. Join us for the first episode of PhDrunk, where we drink adult beverages and discuss a book with lots of adult content. This episode is brought to you by euphemisms, the purity myth, and nine years of longing.
