Nic Cage, the Garden of Eden, sleeping through Dante studies, and some very clear evidence of very potent whiskey in the second ep of our third season! (Note: Ryan took eight tries to pronounce 'peculiarities.' Just saying.) Welcome to Whiskey and the Weird, a podcast exploring the British Library Tales of the Weird series! This season, we're dissecting our third book in the series ‘Promethean Horrors: Classic Tales of Mad Science.’ In this episode, our featured story is: 'Rappaccini's Daughter' by Nathaniel Hawthorne.
Bar Talk (our recommendations):
Jessica is watching We're All Going to the World's Fair (2022, dir. Jane Schoebrun); drinking Noble Oak Double Oak Rye.
Damien is reading Age of Cage by Keith Phipps; drinking a Solstice Spritz (Hendrick's Midsummer Solstice + St. Germain + lemon juice).
Ryan is reading Empire of the Vampire by Jay Kristoff; drinking Edradour 10 Year.
