Season 2, Episode 1 of A Discovery of Witches

Description: And off we go into 1590! Diana and Matthew make quite the splash in London! Their main mission: Find a teacher, and get Ashmole 782. In/out, and back to present time, right?! Yeah. No. There a few obstacles (real or perceived) that the duo must deal with. First, Kit -- he's not buying the fact that his BFF Matthew would take on a witch for a wife. Second, Matthew. He kind of forgot what it was he was actually doing and where he was doing it on this date in 1590 (spying, squirreling around, torturing er ... interrogating). Third, there's the matter of finding a teacher for Diana. Oh! And let's not forget that there's a menacing guy that Matthew works for, William Cecil aka Lord Burghley.

We loved that we got to meet our book faves, Kit, Henry, Walter, Pierre, Françoise, and Jack. And poor Diana! Just like Matthew, she's always up for a bad choice; it wouldn't be much of a story, otherwise. There's so much more, but we have it covered in the audio. 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. 😊 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?"}
