Well, well, well, look who has come crawling back! It’s the Jen(n)s! And we’re thrilled!
We are back, we’re rejuvinated, and we have a slightly tweaked format but the same appreciation for books as always.
In this episode, we talk through what our new structure looks like and how we’re going to approach season 13 of the pod after our two and a bit year hiatus. We’re reading Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus by Mary Shelley, covering pages 1-18 or, as Jen V calls it, the Letters.
This episode was recorded on 14 October 2026.
Show notes
This week, we’re reading the pages 1-18 of Frankenstein. If you’d like to read along with us, our copies are the Barnes & Noble Collectible Editions.
Jen V got a puppy last year and you can meet her, and follow the adventures of the Wellington Coven, over on Instagram - @the04Coven.
And we must not forget Jenn D’s gorgeous pup. Check out Bellamy’s instagram, for shockingly few pictures of the rug-dog at @bellamyboopoppleton
