Unclassical

We left last episode with a strange disembodied voice haunting the corridors of Misselthwaite Manor, but shh, no one cares about that - meet the OG Disney Prince - Dickon, every straight 10 year old girls' fantasy. Will Mary be able to keep her cool? Will she show him the garden? Will Ben ever stop roasting Mary at every opportunity? And will Mary ever meet her mysterious uncle?Sit back, whistle for your favourite Robin, and let winds wuther you all the way to Yorkshire. Looking for somewhere to jump in?

By now you should have done your homework and watched the 90s film version of The Secret Garden, and you should know the uncredited role of Mrs Medlock's love interest, the chicken leg. We can all wish to have a such a satisfying encounter, but only a very select few shall actually experience it. Bet it stank though. So yes! Join us for part 2 of Mary's new life, as she arrives in Yorkshire and meets some less than friendly locals as she explores her new home. And get ready to meet the very best boy ever, Robin Red Breast, the only character in this with any emotional intelligence. Looking for somewhere to jump in?

We're back baby! And to help us transition from this horrible winter into the warmer months, we're bringing you The Secret Garden - like only Unclassical can tell it! If you grew up watching the 90s film - get ready to hear the darker themes the film missed out, and if you didn't grow up on 90s film adaptations, well watch them! All of them! You're welcome! But for now, sit back, stare forlornly out of a window, and get ready for an apocalypse that only a tyrannical little pig could survive. Looking for somewhere to jump in?

Ho ho… huh?We are diving into the festive, idealist world of Christmas with Enid Blyton! But is it as perfect as you'd think? Recognise familiar themes of bubbling resentment, parental favouritism and a constant reminder that a woman's place is rearing children and in the kitchen! Good? Good. There's actually quite a lot of history and cocoa too! So get a blanket, snuggle in, and may our rage at the patriarchy keep you warm! Merry Christmas, guys!

This week, we return to The Crucible and somehow manage to hate John Proctor even more—which we didn’t think was humanly possible, but here we are. We also dive into the very important logistical question: if both parents are in prison for witchcraft, which parent should organise the childcare? Plus, we unveil a new theory about one characters’ secret motivations... Grab your broomstick, light your candles (responsibly), and prepare for another round of literary chaos, moral panic (that makes no sense), and aggressive side-eye! We'll now be taking a short break, before we return with our Christmas season!!! So excited!

John’s dragging Mary Warren to court to expose Abby for the chaos gremlin she is — but Salem’s her playground, and tbh, John is too dumb to stand a chance. Cue courtroom meltdowns, mass hysteria, and John threatening to beat children every two minutes. Elizabeth deserved so much better...Justice? Never heard of her.

Things are heating up in Salem faster than a witch at the stake. This week, we return to John and Elizabeth Proctor, as they try (and fail) to have a normal conversation without making us want to cause John much pain. Mary Warren returns from court with gossip hotter than Tituba’s cauldron, and let’s just say... it’s not looking great for the wives of Salem... or women in general... or vulnerable people... or anyone who's ever had a nice pig... actually, I think it's fair to say everyone's getting mirked.Meanwhile, the consequences of John’s “little mistakes” (spoiler: not so little) begin to snowball, dragging everyone else down with him. Love! Lies! The 10 Commandments! It's all here, and it's a mess.

Join us for our next instalment where Hale Arrives & the Proctor Tea Spills.Reverend Hale finally struts into Salem ready to sniff out some witches, and things get messy. We learn more about what the girlies were actually up to in the woods (spoiler: it’s not just a cheeky little dance), and tensions start simmering over at the Proctor household. John’s got secrets, Elizabeth’s got suspicions, and the tea? It’s bitter.

Episode 2 of Unclassical’s The Crucible series is here! This week, the drama hits a new level. We learn why you do not mess with the girls (seriously, they run Salem), and finally get the real story behind Goody Proctor and Abby’s beef — and ohhh it is JUICY. 🍵👀Also… how many people can you squeeze into Betty’s bedroom?! We have got to be sitting on laps by now! 😂Betrayals, gossip, witchy side-eyes — this is The Crucible like you’ve never heard it before.And who else is vibing Mercy? We LOVE her! #UnclassicalPodcast #TheCrucible #PodcastDrama #SalemSpice #AbbyVsProctor #WitchPlease #LiteratureUnhinged

Either way, full respect Rachel, you do you. It's going to take a lot for us to sympathise with Phillip! Also get ready for some awks sexual awakening moments at the hand of our maisonette master!

Unclassical Podcast Christmas Special! Ho-ho-ho! Ready to wrap up your holiday season with a twisted Christmas tale? This Christmas Day, we’re dropping our epic final episode of the Grimm Christmas Advent series, and it’s a doozy. We’re diving into the Brothers Grimm’s Elves and the Shoemaker... but wait — did you know it's actually a trilogy?! No? That's because it's really freaking weird! Elf on the shelf? Elf getting a restraining order! So, grab your eggnog, cozy up by the fire (or, you know, your space heater), and prepare for the most bizarre holiday adventure of the year. Unclassical — where Christmas tales go off the rails. #UnclassicalPodcast #GrimmTales #ChristmasSpecial #ElvesAndTheShoemaker #TrilogyTwist #HolidayDrama #PodcastFun

Gather round for Episode 4 of our Brothers Grimm Advent series, where we delve into the delightfully daft tale of "The Drummer." It's a story where absolutely everyone is rather silly—silly to the point of making one question their life choices. Expect a motley crew of characters who wouldn’t know common sense if it danced in front of them wearing a top hat and a very obnoxious drummer. If you've ever wondered how a drummer and fashion can inadvertently save the day, or if you're just here for the sheer absurdity, this episode is for you. Because who needs logic when you have questionable decisions and a rhythm section? Tune in for your daily dose of bizarre happenings, poorly thought-out plans, and extremely uncomfortable social interactions. It’s all here in Episode 4—because why would we make sense when we can make nonsense instead? See what we did there?

Alright, folks, buckle up! Episode 3 of our Brother's Grimm Advent Series just dropped, and it’s a wild ride. We’re diving into The Donkey—and let’s just say, this fairy tale isn’t your typical “Once upon a time” fluff. Ever wonder what happens when a donkey, a poor guy, and a whole lot of weird life choices collide? Well, in this episode, we’re exploring kinks, acceptance, and self-expression... all wrapped up in a very unexpected package. (Trust us, it’s not what you think. Or maybe it is... who are we to judge? ) Is it a story about finding who you really are? Or just a deep dive into the weirdness of fairy tales? You’ll have to listen to find out! So, grab your headphones, press play, and join us for a laugh, a yikes, and maybe a few “uhhh, what?” moments. It's Unclassical, baby, where the stories always get a little strange. #UnclassicalPodcast #BrothersGrimm #TheDonkey #FairyTales #SelfExpression #KinksAndFairyTales #AdventSeries #WeirdFairyTales #NotYourKidsStory
