Episode Notes

Juliet and Katherine tackle the Carly Rae Jepsen tragicomic holiday single Its Not Christmas Til Somebody Cries alongside Victor Hugo's dramatic portrait of the structure of suffering and the human character, Les Misérables—discussing in turn both the popular musical and the overlong book.

Art for I'll Be Pod for Castmas is done by Ryan Jensen. Readings from the text are provided by Max Newland.

Transcript of this episode is available here. Next week, you'll hear Max Newland read the Borges short story The Form of the Sword before we dive into discussing it alongside both of our texts this month.
