In the first episode outside of our test group, Janet and George dive into the history behind histories. Or, sort of. We look at the genre of historical fiction, our personal experiences with books under its umbrella, and the importance of getting multiple different narratives into one story. We recorded this at the end of June, so while we catch up to our current release schedule, please pardon late updates on the WGA strike. Also, we had a bit of microphone trouble for Mum this time, but the episode is so good, we thought we’d upload anyway. We’ll be back to our normal, crystal-clear quality soon! See below for books mentioned!
