Sol in Virgo ... finally!

Take 84 - The One Where We Go Back To School

Description: Sol in Virgo dictates that children go back to school. Well, we are children at heart, so we'll take the advice! It also says it signifies a change of place. Matthew and Diana are entering a brave new world of disclosure; 😳 subsequently, Chris is entering the necessary new world of accountability (🙌 with a little help from Miriam). This episode was great fun to record -- we hope you enjoy listening to it 😄

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?"}
