Textual Relations

I know it’s late but Episode 4 - Fingersmith / The Handmaiden is coming soon. We promise! I’m just a slow reader and Fingersmith is the longest text we’ve covered on the show thus far. 

This time on Textual Relations, Courtney and Christian look at Stardust: Being a Romance Within the Realms of Faerie (1999), written by Neil Gaiman and illustrated by Charles Vess, and its film adaptation Stardust (2007) directed by Matthew Vaughn. 

We've moved from Podbean to Libsyn. The RSS feed should automatically adjust. If you listen to the show on Stitcher, I'll have to update that tomorrow.

Of course, you will still be able to listen to new and old episodes on this site as well. 

Hey everyone, 

Episode 3 is on it’s way. We promise! However, we’re migrating to a new podcast host over the weekend, and it’s causing some issues with our RSS feed. 

We hope to have everything sorted out by Monday. In the meantime, you may not be able to access the current episodes. 

Sorry about this! 

This time on the show, we check out Evelyn Waugh's novel Vile Bodies (1930), a biting satire of the lives of the Bright Young People in 1920s Britain, and then we look at the novel’s one and only film adaptation, Bright Young Things (2003) directed by Stephen Fry.

Follow the link above to check it out, or find us on iTunes, Google Play, and Stitcher Radio.

Next time on the show we're reading Neil Gaiman’s Stardust. 

We're both huge fans of Neil Gaimain, so read along and check out the movie before the episode airs at the start of next month.

I know we’ve been quiet for a few days, but that’s because we were at the Sask Writer’s Guild “Talking Fresh” Conference this weekend, and then we got hit with a cold. We’re recovering, and haven’t forgotten that we still need to respond to your feedback on our first episode. We’re also busy reading Vile Bodies, and trying hard not to get too distracted by the Nintendo Switch in our household.
