Hello Seekers!

Last week we went into the connections between the top 3 Romantic writers of their era: Mary (Godwin) Shelley, Percy Shelley and Lord Byron.

But that just SCRATCHES at the surface of these lunatics (and their friends).

This week's episode goes more "behind-the-scenes" of what famously went down at that villa in Switzerland (hint: It wasn't all writing. There was also a fair bit of sex, drugs and rock n' roll), as well as, everyone's messy personal lives and Percy's creepy and slightly paranormal death at a very young age.

I hope you enjoy today's more personal episode regarding the illustrious 3 and thanks for getting weird with us!
