Pairing


Feb 1, 2019

Emma is joined by podcasting extraordinaire Amanda McLoughlin (Multitude Productions, Spirits, Join the Party) to discuss one of the most underrated fantasy trilogies ever, The Old Kingdom by Garth Nix. They discuss the three books (Sabriel, Lirael, and Abhorsen) and their different experiences reading them: Amanda as a child, and Emma listening to Tim Curry narrate them while on her recent honeymoon. Both agree that they are tremendous novels- listen to find out why, and to find out about one of the world's oldest grapes. Plus: the Black Book of Bibliomancy, pronunciation of fantasy names, necromancers, Egyptian Afterlife, music & magic, badass librarians and messenger bags, Neil Gaiman, Descartes, #marriagegoals, and "Glacier: a Fragrance by Tim Curry."

Amanda is the co-host of Spirits and founder of Multitude Productions. Check out Multitude's website for podcasting resources, and to hire her as a podcasting consultant! Follow her on Twitter @shessomickey
