Daemons Discuss - Podcast: Take 54! | Chapter Discussion about the All Souls Trilogy; Chapter 28 of Shadow of Night

Edward Kelley

Take 54 - The One With the Defenestration

Description: Despite repeated attempts to have a proper sit-down with Edward Kelley, Diana is not having a lot of luck; what she is managing to do is to get more and more tangled up in Emperor Rudolf's world and imagination. Finally, through a tangled network of connections via the "Real Housewives of Prague," Diana and Matthew meet the man of the hour. Matthew decides a good defenestration -- er -- employment of persuasion, will get the answers they seek. Well, it worked! Sort of ... enjoy!

SPOILER ALERT! We (The Daemons) approach this podcast with an assumption that the listener has read All Souls universe books, including the trilogy (A Discovery of Witches, Shadow of Night, The Book of Life), and  Time's Convert + snippits from The World of All Souls. If you haven't, and you don't mind, we certainly don't mind!  Please be advised, we will approach the television series (A Discovery of Witches) the same way as episodes are released in the US/Canada. ๐Ÿ˜Š  Let's do this. *Note - this podcast is labeled 'explicit'

      * Our episode titles are a loving tribute to the show "Friends" just 'cause we love Friends and - let's face it - it's easier! Here's how one of the show creators explains their reasoning:
      Jeff Greenstein: "When Marta & David & Jeff & I did 'Dream On', we used to spend a lot of time thinking about titles, because they were on-screen at the top of each episode. On "Friends", we decided that was a waste of time. We figured, why not name each episode after the thing that people will ostensibly be talking about around the water-cooler the next day?"
      This was a Daemon Production
