When you realise you want to spend the rest of your podcast with somebody, you want the rest of your podcast to start as soon as possible. Sara and Brendan meet cute for an intertextual romp through timeless 1989 rom-com When Harry Met Sally. We discuss the movie’s flagrant parallels with Casablanca and latent echoes of podcast favourite Psycho. Plus sensitive reflections on friendship, wigs, and conversing with men. And of course there’s more haiku fun in Poetry Corner. I’ll have what she’s podcasting.

Sara Goes to Horrorwood: it's a fang-tastic Halloween special as we cross oceans of time to savour Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992). Baseless speculations abound on the foundation of Romania, the logistical advantages of sail, and the medicinal properties of garlic. Plus there's more haiku fun in a particularly putrescent poetry corner. Abandon all hope, ye who listen here.
