“Witches hear the immortal whispers of those who pass between the worlds. They speak of a child who is destined to bring the end of destiny. If told what she must do, she will fail.
But she won’t walk alone. There is a boy whose fate is bound with hers. Together, they will change everything.”
“I want you to love yourself enough not to feed yourself dry sandwiches for dinner, or skip eating altogether. The way you feel about food sits hand to hand with the way you feel about yourself, and if you eat happily and wholeheartedly, food will make you strong. I want you to feel fine about the messiness of your illogical, impulsive appetite, and sometimes overeat, sometimes undereat, and still hold tight in your self-care.”
— Ruby Tandoh, from Eat Up: Food, Appetite and Eating What You Want
However Improbable is a new podcast narrating and discussing the great detective!
Join detective literature enthusiasts Marisa and Sarah in revisiting Arthur Conan Doyle’s classic tales. We uniquely read them in chronological order rather than by publication date. Every other week, we present a fresh new recording of Holmes and Watson’s adventures, and then delve into the story, its history and politics, adaptations, and why we’re still so captivated by the detective and his good doctor. Holmes himself famously said that there’s nothing new under the sun—but we’re willing to give him a run for his money.
