Alyssa Esteban—artist, podcaster, and storyteller—is a student of the fantasy genre and the host of the Breakfast in Beauclair podcast, which examines The Witcher books, games, and Netflix show. Together we revisit a book that helped her fall in love with fantasy: The Two Princesses of Bamarre by Gail Carson Levine, which we read through the theme of identity. 

Pages Past is the podcast where we visit the library of memory. In each episode, host Genna Buck invites a guest to choose a book to read and discuss. It must be something that meant a lot to you in the far past—so long ago, that you were a different person the last time you read it. Through conversation and close reading, we will find new meanings in our old favourite books.
