Talking North and South by Elizabeth Gaskell: Yearning, Social Commentary, and More Yearning

Описание: In this episode, Spoons and Wheezy dive into the listener-recommended classic North and South by Elizabeth Gaskell. This Victorian romance is full of drama, longing (and we mean copious longing), fascinating social commentary, and proof that humans really haven’t changed all that much.

The episode also features the first truly in-depth author bio the club has tackled in a while, and — with slightly longer runtime than usual — it’s packed with laughs, tangents, and the hosts’ signature chaos. A reminder: this podcast is firmly shelved under “comedy”, for good reason.
