It’s spookstorical season and Kim and Alice are flipping some horses with Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter. You should probably ask your best pal why he always wears sunglasses, and prepare for some semi-historical horror with the man otherwise known as Gaybraham.Sound Engineer: Keith NagleEditor: Helen Hamilton / Keith NagleProducer: Helen HamiltonPrincess Weekes video, "Why are there so many Confederate Vampires?" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zT5unKXnSUkArticle by Hailey Frenette: "Romanticizing the Confederacy: Modern Vampire Mediaas a Conduit for Misinformation" https://ojs.library.dal.ca/djim/article/view/11755If you enjoy this podcast, come with us on a romp through the Regency era with our sister podcast, Austen After Dark.

Kim and Alice’s reputations are in tatters but thankfully we have a fancy friend to walk around the village with, because we’re joined by Dr Kayla Jones in this episode on the 1999 miniseries Wives and Daughters. We’re weeding through the British class system, celebrating the best of nerdy love stories, and questioning whether our favourite character died from a bad blood tube.You can find Kayla’s brilliant period drama dissections on Regency Rumours.Sound Engineer: Keith NagleEditor: Alice Nagle / Keith NagleProducer: Helen HamiltonIf you enjoy this podcast, come with us on a romp through the Regency era with our sister podcast, Austen After Dark.

Hold onto your heart, dame, because we’re leaping from an airplane into 1935 India with Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. Is this the most racist period drama we’ve ever covered? Yes. But Kim and Alice are swinging in to deliver you some glowing stones of truth about the goddess Kali, the supposed Thuggee Cult, and of course vampire bats.Sound Engineer: Keith NagleEditor: Keith NagleProducer: Helen HamiltonIf you enjoy this podcast, come with us on a romp through the Regency era with our sister podcast, Austen After Dark.

A man! A war! A horse! A podcast! After several weeks adrift Alice and husband/audio producer Keith ended up on the mythical island of Ireland, where they went to the cinema. In this Fainting Couch episode we’re comparing Odysseuses (do you prefer sinewy-sad or hopping psychopath?), working out who broke Zeus’ law the hardest, and whacking bits of bronze together. Kim and Alice will be reunited on 10 September for the start of a new season!https://www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v48/n14/emily-wilson/an-uncomplicated-manhttps://open.substack.com/pub/flintdelsol/p/actually-nolan-is-kind-of-making?Sound Engineer: Keith NagleEditor: Keith NagleProducer: Helen HamiltonIf you enjoy this podcast, come with us on a romp through the Regency era with our sister podcast, Austen After Dark.

It’s time to scuttle away from your problems, as we cover the ultimate sleepover movie, Ever After. Whilst Leonardo da Vinci does all our DIY, Kim and Alice have great news for fans of historical edicts, and less good news about the real Prince Henry’s love life.Sound Engineer: Keith NagleEditor: Helen Hamilton / Keith NagleProducer: Helen HamiltonIf you enjoy this podcast, come with us on a romp through the Regency era with our sister podcast, Austen After Dark.
