Daemons Discuss - Podcast: Special Edition | A Rest Stop Between SON & TBOL


Bonus - The One With Shadow of Life

Description: Let's take a little break to grab a snack, stretch our legs, sort ourselves out and reflect on our trip through Shadow of Night. Then we'll go on to plan our next journey by establishing a baseline predicated on our collective/individual first-read impressions of The Book of Life, prior to hitting the road! ๐ŸšจWARNING: controversial opinions (what?! Never! ๐Ÿ˜ˆ) live in this episode. Strap in, it may get bumpy in the wagon! ๐Ÿ˜Ž

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'

    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?"

    We had to go with the car on this one!

    Take 67 - The One With the Welcoming Committee

    Description: We ride along with Diana and Matthew as they navigate their way back to their present, ready to face the future. We also get a little glimpse back at the 16th Century with our old friends, Andrew and Annie. AND we visit with Will, and get his side of the story. Either way, we are HOME.

    In order to get ready for The Book of Life, listeners, our next episode will be a look back at Shadow of Night, and a glance forward to The Book of Life.

    SPOILER ALERT!

    Daemons Discuss - Podcast: Special Edition | Checking In. How Are You Doing? ๐Ÿ˜ณ

    These cartoon Daemons apparently don't practice social distancing!

    Checking in - How Are You Doing?

    Description: COVID-19. There was no escaping this, so we are doing what we do best; talking our way through it. This is a snapshot of where we were mentally on the 20th of March, 2020. We get under a virtual blanket fort and chat -- all while trying to find brightness in the dark. Chapter episodes will resume in a fortnight.

    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.
