About this listen

As autumn turns to winter, we turn at last to that classic wintry tale: Frankenstein, by Mary Shelley. You may recall a little bit about her life story from our Percy Shelley episode, but this one is all about her! Join us as we learn about this weird little freaky genius lady, and go on a journey through the life of the woman who gave us perhaps the best known horror book of all time. Nikita is the ghost host. Rachel gets trapped on an Italian witch mountain. Jackie forms her own volunteer fire department. Bekah could have been in the thoracic cavity. Topics include: the Backyardigans, Mormon baptismal practices, Ignaz Semmelweiss, Renesmee, Aaron Burr, au jus, and assorted blackmail plots.


Content warnings: parent and child death, suicide, and some discussion of cadavers.
