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.

Pride Month 3: Let's Go Lesbians Let's Go may have had some slight delays, but here are Jas, Ilana, Conor, and Ellie all the same to talk about one of two Netflix Cyrano de Bergerac adaptations set in high school, The Half of It, where we discuss how painfully relatable both the film and its source material are to our high school experiences, the value of straight man (especially himbo ones)/lesbian solidarity, and the mortifying ordeal of being known we must endure in order to be loved.
