2:33:22

This month we speak about Psmith, Journalist, the third book in the Mike and Psmith series and the last one we are covering, much to Robyn's consternation. If you're a die-hard fan of the character of Psmith, this might not be the episode for you. But if you would like to listen to Robyn (and to some extent, Scott) go off on him, definitely listen …

This episode Robyn and Scott discuss The Prince and Betty, which has the character Rupert Smith in it, but is not part of the Psmith series, although it does have essentially the same plot as Psmith, Journalist.

Shrilal Shukla was a civil servant and a very observant one too!

2:05:20

Very Good, Jeeves, is the last Jeeves and Wooster collection. Although individual Jeeves and Wooster stories would appear in collections, all Jeeves and Wooster books that appear after this one are novels. As Robyn points out, this is probably a good thing, as the short stories start to get a little bit repetitious. In this episode, we learn once a…
