About This Podcast

Every July and December, Juliet L'mous and their co-host playwright Katherine Varga take a piece of holiday pop culture and discuss it through the lens of a piece of topical classic literature — like the Christmas classic "Frosty the Snowman" through the lens of Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein". Find it four times a year on the Moonshot Podcast Network!
