<p>This episode, Robyn and Scott discuss Wodehouse's first Jeeves and Wooster novel, Thank You, Jeeves. We discuss what it means to use harsh language in the early 20th Century, how smart Bertie Wooster actually is, how a garage between houses can survive a fire, whether petrol is butter is better for removing markings on the skin, and that poor Bertie just needs to be allowed to eat his darn breakfast. </p>

A podcast about the works of PG Wodehouse by a father, who has read most of the Wodehouse bibliography, and a daughter who had read none of it before the two decided to do a podcast together. We will go through all the novels and short story collections, including Jeeves, Blandings Castle, Psmith, and all the Mulliners, Bodkins, and Ukridges that you can throw a stick at, not that you should be throwing sticks. We'll discuss the stories and how they read 50-100 years later, as well as keep track of all the saving from drowning attempts, stealing a police officer's helmets, breaches of promise, and awful aunts, as well as doing some meandering of our own that would make Wooster proud. Right ho!
