Daemons Discuss - Podcast: Take 51! | Chapter Discussion about the All Souls Trilogy; Chapter 24 of Shadow of Night

Dr. John Dee (... and a tree πŸ˜†)

Take 51 - The One With Dee and the Tree

Description: Life for Diana and Matthew in the 16th Century appears to be going as planned; Diana is learning new tricks and tips when it comes to her magic, and Matthew is doing what he does to keep the crown, the congregation & the order sated. George enters the scene with some news! He thinks he's found the trail to Diana's book. The trail in question leads to Dr. Dee's library and the treasures contained within. Meanwhile, in Mary's lab, a major event happening in that batch of prima materia that requires immediate attention!

SPOILER ALERT! We (The Daemons) approach this podcast with an assumption that the listener has read All Souls universe books, including the trilogy (A Discovery of Witches, Shadow of Night, The Book of Life), and  Time's Convert + snippits from The World of All Souls. If you haven't, and you don't mind, we certainly don't mind!  Please be advised, we will approach the television series (A Discovery of Witches) the same way when it is released in the US/Canada. 😊  Let's do this. *Note - this podcast is labeled 'explicit'

* Our episode titles are a loving tribute to the show "Friends" just 'cause we love Friends and - let's face it - it's easier! Here's how one of the show creators explains their reasoning:
Jeff Greenstein: "When Marta & David & Jeff & I did 'Dream On', we used to spend a lot of time thinking about titles, because they were on-screen at the top of each episode. On "Friends", we decided that was a waste of time. We figured, why not name each episode after the thing that people will ostensibly be talking about around the water-cooler the next day?"
This was a Daemon Production
