In Each Retelling

The podcast where we explore how old tales are made new! Whether it's the fairytales we heard as children, the classic literature we read in high school, or the most ancient of mythologies, it seems creators can't help but keep putting their own spin on old stories, and we're going to tackle every flavor we can get our nerdy hands on.

In Each Retelling belatedly returns with a much belated Valentine's Day episode that was also meant to coincide with the release of the third sequel of this series, Bridget Jones' Diary! Here, Jas, River, Ellie, Shami, and Syd discuss how Bridget Jones is far from the proto feminist icon Lizzie Bennet is, whether or not this is a remotely romantic rom com, and how even more bizarre the novel by Helen Fielding is!

The following podcast is for entertainment purposes only. The views and opinions expressed therein belong only to the speakers. Additionally, this podcast contains swearing, discussions of sexism, racism, disordered eating, fatphobia, sexual assault, acts of violence, and the current political climate.
