S4E5: Claudanum-dreams. A gothic literature revolution, featuring Thots TV

The Thots TV podcast join us for a gothic adventure full of literary titans, a 'haunted house' and lashings of laudanum. It's 1816, the year without a summer. Lord Byron, Mary (not yet) Shelly and friends are stuck in Villia Diodati for 3 days in stormy weather. The party that inspired Frankenstein's Monster, The Vampyr and Darkness is in full swing. Meg, Elsie and Laura arrive as the mysterious Lady Thottringham. Their mission? Stop Mary Shelley from writing Frankenstein and inspire her to create something entirely different. Through strategic cocktail invention, selective laudanum usage, and feminist revolution, they transform multiple gothic works while taking down the arrogant Lord Byron.
