June 06, 2023 S2 E2.01 - Lady Audley's Secret - Chapter 3
Hello there,
Today Owen Narrates "Lady Audley's Secret" Chapter 3
Written by Mary Elizabeth Braddon
Published in the London Journal 1863
Welcome back to the Victorian Periodical Parade. Welcome to the reading of Chapter 3 of Lady Audley’s Secret. My name is Owen and I have messed up again, this Chapter is being published out of order. I have done this before, and I will try not to do this again. I have been assisting Dr. Kari Nixon by reading the fiction portions of the 1863 bound annual edition. In this nice collection of literature we find connections between folks of the Victorians Era, 160 years ago and present day folks. Have you ever dreamed about entering a spooky old mansion? Have you ever found something from someone’s past that was surprising? How about stumbling upon and old disused well, have you then thrown something down it to see if there was water at the bottom? Listen to today’s episode so see how similar you are to characters of old. We will be having Kari’s breakdown episode connected to this, as well as a special breakdown episode from Daniel! It’s goona be great.
We hope to see your comments and feedback on Instagram, Facebook, or Twitter.
Have a lovely day,
Owen, Kari, and Daniel

May 23, 2023 S2 E3.03 - Lady Audley's Secret - Chapter 7
Hey listener,
Today Owen Narrates "Lady Audley's Secret" Chapter 7
Written by Mary Elizabeth Braddon
Published in the London Journal 1863
Welcome back to the Victorian Periodical Parade. We have another reading from the London Journal for you today. My name is Owen and I have been assisting Kari Nixon, PhD, by reading the fiction portions of the 1863 bound annual edition of the London Journal. This is a nice collection of literature and news articles that connects present day folk to the Victorians of 160 years ago.
In Chapter 7 we find that a year has past for George Talboys and that he has stayed with Robert Audley during that time. How much time has George spent with his son and father in law? We are about to find out. Has George met Sir Michael and Lady Audley since returning to england? That answer lies within this episode. What made George stay? Well, the next ship to sail to Australia had just set out a day before George inquired, and the next was due to depart within a month. In the interim Robert persuaded George to go to Russia with him. Why he stayed is beyond that is not in chapter 7 though. Here’s hoping that you all enjoy the next 27 minutes.
Our next episode will likely be a breakdown episode where Dr. Kari Nixon goes over the contents of Chapter 7 and the articles published alongside it, in the London Journal. We hope to hear from you on Instagram, Twitter, or Youtube
Have a great day!
Kari, Owen, and Daniel

Hello Lovely Vicies and Victors,
I'm glad you found your way over here to the Victorian Periodical Parade
Welcome to the second reading of the 1863 edition of the London Journal. Kari Nixon, PhD, compares events of the past both to events of today and similarities with "Lady Audley's Secret."
In this episode there isn’t a large article that correlates directly to the reading in the same publication, so Kari breaks down what the London Journal. She describes what a typical publication looks like and reads a few interesting pieces. She also makes up a nice little story about sheep.

March 14, 2023 S3 E7.5 Aunt Agatha's Husband The Breakdown
Greetings to your Ears and Eyes,
Warning, there are a handful of deaths referenced in this work. Natural deaths due to old age, as well as unfortunate circumstances, but death nonetheless.
Daniel Kasper PHD is with us in this episode to breakdown the nuances of Lucy Hardy’s writing. Here is a story that breaks from the orthodox tradition of presenting cause and effect morality, and instead shifts the morals further into the background for a more personal interpretation. What morals did you pick up in your listening of this story? How outdated is this story? Does the conclusion make up for the less scrupulous phrases and ideologies used throughout? How rattled were you by the deaths and post-mortem scenarios we witnessed in this story? Do you think that George Smyhte is innocent as Aunt Agatha believes? Let us know on Podchaser, Instagram, or Twitter.
The narration being done by the niece of the main character is atypical and seemingly unique to Lucy Hardy. The events, as narrated to us, are a telling of the narrator’s life, their own experiences of another’s life, the story of returning home to learn of the aunt’s life in their absence, and finally, the telling of what was learned as the end of Aunt Agatha’s Husband. This story skips out on the ghosts of the past, lurking around and the characters must appease them, or in some cases accept them and allow them to move on. However the suspense of the more sinister ending is always held over the reader, leaving us reading on to find how hard the shoe will land on the characters. Since the narrator is a witness, the protagonist is more of a surprise rather than the one one might expect.
Enjoy the rest of your day!
Daniel, Owen and Kari

S2 E1.05 A Home for Seaman's Orphans
Published in the London Journal 1863
Hello World,
We are glad that you have found your way into the Victorian Periodical Parade

Welcome to the breakdown episode, where Kari compares the articles published in the same issue of the London Journal to the section of Lady Audley's Secret and pulls out the knowledge hidden within.
Here we find that they published an article about merchant and sailor orphans to tell their reads what would likely happen to George's wife and son after he abandoned them. Listen along to see what comparisons Dr. Nixon makes.
See you next time for more of the story of Lady Audley's Secret

This is the last part of the second chapter.

He also describes his love and devotion to his wife, which is a happy coincidence that the publication of this podcast episode will be on February 14th.
May you find someone who would travel the seas, and move the earth to provide and care for you as George does in this segment.
Next episode will either be Kari breaking down these first two chapters of Lady Audley's Secret and the articles that were published with them in the London Journal.

January 31, 2023 S3 E 5.01 - Halloween - The Breakdown - The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde
Content Warning!
Cursing, Talk of murder, suicide, violence, and death
Hello Dear Listener!
Here is the breakdown of The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde
Do you enjoy murder mysteries? Crime stories? Breakdown episodes about such suspenseful Shilling Shockers? In this episode we talk with Daniel Kasper PhD. As the story came to an end, it left behind a legacy, but have you thought of all of the possible meanings this story holds? Where the final chapter, Henry Jekyll’s Full Statement of the Case, was a typical mastermind’s plan reveal, this episode delves into his plan, his intentions, and where he may have gone awry. While his path toward fixing his plans went off and on the rails again and again, it was futile to fight the verdict, but why? In, writing to his last remaining friend and he leaves behind the only accounts of Mr. Hyde, along with other details that belie his own story. It may have been his ego urging him to write down his scientific accomplishments so that everyone could know of Dr. Henry Jekyll’s achievements, or it could have been his final attempt at helping someone finally understand him!
