The Prince and Betty 2:37:12

6d ago2:37:12

2:37:12

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. We also discuss Wodehouse's misuse of Latin, whether this is the most slur-filled novel (maybe?), and go off on more than one tangent. Als…

Summer Lightning 1:41:12

1M ago1:41:12

1:41:12

Summer Lightning is the third Blandings Castle novel, in which we are first introducted to both the prized pig Empress of Blandings (at least her novel debut) and Lord Emsworth's brother, Galahad Threepwood. Lord Emsworth also has a new secretary, as well as two young relationships that seem to interfere with his time in the garden. Pigs are stolen…

Very Good, Jeeves 2:05:20

3M ago2:05:20

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…

A Prefect's Uncle 1:44:46

4M ago1:44:46

1:44:46

On this podcast, Scott and Robyn discuss A Prefect's Uncle, Wodehouse's second published novel, and another book that involves school boys and cricket. This is one of Wodehouse's shorter works, and we try to have the podcast length be in according with it, but there is a lot of talk about small talk, Robyn's problems with the second to last chapter…

A Damsel in Distress 2:55:28

5M ago2:55:28

2:55:28

In this episode Robyn and Scott discuss A Damsel in Distress, published in 1919. It reads much like a Blandings Castle novel, with an earl harried by his sister and employees trying to make him write family histories, when all he wants to do is work in his garden. His daughter is trying to reconnect with the man she met the summer before, but in do…

6M ago2:40:01

2:40:01

Robyn and Scott discuss Love Among the Chickens, published in 1906 and having the first appearance of Stanley Featherstonehaugh Ukridge, possibly Wodehouse's longest-running character (by duration, not appearances). Things get heated over discussion of the character of Jeremy Garnet, and Robyn displays a previously unknown black belt in debating. S…

Jump back in with Sam & Emily as they finish their deep dive into A Court of Thorns and Roses, the first book in the A Court of Thorns and Roses series by Sarah J. Maas.

The Little Nugget 2:18:24

7M ago2:18:24

2:18:24

Scott and Robyn read the 1913 novel The Little Nugget, one of the money Wodehouse novels that seems to concentrate inordinately on the kidnapping of an odious child. Robyn continues her woes about the string of books without the "lovable idiot" characters she loves so much. Wodehouse uses an American dialect that makes Americans, particularly those…

Chapter 202: A Court of Horny Thorns 1:26:27

1:26:27

IT IS TIME (thorny air horns playing in the background)! Time for Sam and Emily to finally dive off the deep end and into the world of Sarah J. Maas. In this episode they will be breaking down and summarizing the first part of A Court of Thorns and Roses. After two years of pleading on Sam's part, Emily finally gave into the peer pressure and lucky…

2:03:23

Scott and Robyn discuss Leave It to Psmith, the second Blandings Castle novel AND the final Mike and Psmith (now with almost no Mike) novel--but Robyn and Scott still have Psmith, Journalist to read. This podcast continues Robyn's eternal hate of Psmith, as well as her confusing love of Freddie Threepwood. Now, let us throw some flower pots through…

Frozen Assets 2:14:18

9M ago2:14:18

2:14:18

Set in Paris and London, this stand-alone novel published in the 1960s opens with one of Wodehouse's funniest scenes. We have love at first sight--well, second sight, after a bit of recognition--and a dog inserted into the plot for the sake of one corny joke, plus two male friends...who actually like each other? Is this a Wodehouse novel? Plus, a l…

The Pothunters 1:48:12

12M ago1:48:12

1:48:12

Scott and Robyn discuss The Pothunters, Wodehouse's first novel. It's a short book with a wide cast of characters. Who's the main character? We're not really sure. What's it about? It has something to do with burglary. And sports cups. Also, whatever Plunkett is doing. And there's a quarry. And an egg enthusiastic. Listen, we both read it, and neit…

Quick Service 2:00:08

1y ago2:00:08

2:00:08

This is another one of Wodehouse's standalone novels. It had a large cast with a revolving door of plots, nearly all of which center around a painting. Scott and Robyn, as always, go off into odd tangents about how you pronounce the verb for valet, kissing, and monkeys, as well as many, many other topics.…

The Inimitable Jeeves 2:15:25

2:15:25

We're back with another Jeeves and Wooster collection! The main theme in this one is that, while Bertie has a lot of terrible friends, the one in this one - Bingo - really takes the cake. Also, Jeeves continues to have strong opinions about Bertie's appearance, which heavily impacts the plot.By I'll Be Dashed

2:29:44

The follow up to Mike at Wrykyn is discussed. We are introduced to a new character at a new school, Psmith. Robyn cannot stand this character. There is less cricket in this book, but still enough to confuse Scott and Robyn. There is also, for some reason, a tangent about defending Dr. Watson from the Sherlock Holmes novels.…
