We know, we know, we said we were taking a break — and we are! But Haunting the Narrative has now officially existed for a year, and Máiréad, Lizzie, Natasha and Meg are feeling pretty darn proud of that. So we wanted to take a moment to reflect on our journey together: how we all met, what the fandom has meant to us and a little behind-the-scenes peek at how we make our little show.

This one is self-indulgent, rambling and probably involves a little more oversharing than is really good for us, but hey, it's our birthday! So here it is, our origin story. We'll let you decide on the villain part.

Today we are thrilled to welcome the one and only Jonathan Stroud to the podcast!

You said you wanted more literary analysis, so grab a cup of tea and settle in to hear us talk about about Lockwood and Co. with some expert (!!!) insight!

And with that, this is the last episode of this season of Haunting the Narrative!! Don't fret - we'll be back to talk about a vast variety of topics after we take a break! (Let us know if there's anything you'd like us to address.)

At last, the moment you've all been waiting for — no, not Skullyle, you animals. It's time to talk Quill Kipps!

Join Mai, Meg and Natasha for an in-depth and only slightly unhinged discussion of everyone's favourite pint-sized, pug-nosed, carrot-topped inadequate, as we cover the really important questions in life: is Kipps secretly Irish? Why is he catnip to 30-something-year-old women who should know better? Would the story have been better if he'd died in the end? And why is it so freaking hard to say his name out loud?

And, if you're enjoying the podcast and you simply have to tell the world about it, consider voting for us in the British Podcast Awards. Just click the link, search for "Haunting the Narrative" and give them a name and an email address. It's for a good cause (our egos).
