SEASON 9 EPISODE 7: NATURE
Join us as we get back to nature this week while reading chapters 41-46 of Wayward Son.
In this section, Simon and Baz share several lovely, tender moments. Agatha realises NowNext is just a fancy vampire nest. Once in Vegas, our intrepid heroes and their cheerful guide check into a vampire hotel and go out to find some vampires to learn more about NowNext.
In case you missed it, we read the first book in The Simon Snow Trilogy for season 6. We’re picking up the same overarching theme of expectations.
This episode was recorded on 4 March 2023.

“And I, infinitesimal being,
drunk with the great starry
void,
likeness, image of
mystery,
I felt myself a pure part
of the abyss,
I wheeled with the stars,
my heart broke loose on the wind.”
