Rebecca
June 05, 2021 15:08 - 1 hour - 106 MBWe are back!! This month we gush about Rebecca with our dear friend Ana and how much we love the book and one (1) of the adaptations (guess which!!) We discuss the book in a lot of depth and actually do be making some points! Did you like Rebecca as a person and do you think the book is feminist? Or is it doing the exact opposite? Let us know over on our instagram @timeturnercollective! We'll see you again next month to discuss Murakami's Norwegian Wood! See you in the past ;) We are avail...

April 30, 2021 16:26 - 52 minutes - 72.6 MBWe are still alive! Unlike some people... *ahem* we discuss The Secret History this month! With our wonderful and smart friend Katy who is actually doing her dissertation on it! Can you tell it is deadline season? We can! Took me about 90% of my power not to write therefore in this little description box. Anyhoooo, we dive into the characters, the setting, its inspiration and the rest of Donna Tart's wonderful brain. Enjoy! Next month we will be back, post-deadlines and completely energise...
The Wind in the Willows
April 02, 2021 09:12 - 1 hour - 93.1 MBEeerhmm has anyone seen Mr Frog? we sure haven't! But then again has anyone seen Mr. Toad? First of all, so sorry if you have. But also, could you perhaps tell us what size he is? or is he a shape shifter? We do not know. What we do know is that we are back this month to discuss the ever confusing and controversial The Wind in the Willows!! (yeah we were surprised by it controversy too...) This month we are joined once more by Jenny who lets out her anger towards Toad while Laura and Ameli...
Brooklyn
March 01, 2021 11:38 - 1 hour - 84 MBWe are joined by our first guest of the year and our wonderful friend Freya to discuss Brooklyn our book from the 00's but also simultaneously the 50's! why do we always do this!!! Anyway we discuss our love and hate for both men and italians while Amelia is convinced Eilis is a lesbian. I'd say it is very much a classic etc episode! chaos and fun and a small segment about a completely irrelevant but fascinating topic such as where the titanic left and who invented the jet engine? learn some...
The Bell Jar
January 29, 2021 17:34 - 56 minutes - 77.6 MBHappy New Year!!!! or well? happy??? We have believe that this year is going to bring us goooood, however, this months book is arguably less optimistic. Just a TW here, this episode contains mentions of suicide and mental illness. BuT also way more optimistic sections discussing poetic writing, The Triangle of Literature, and new years resolutions!! Fun times all around! We thought I'd be very relevant to the situation we are in right now. While the world looks bleak, there is little posit...
Polar Express Christmas Special
January 01, 2021 18:11 - 1 hour - 116 MBA Festive Special! This month we stay on the subject of trains and discuss The Polar Express, but it isn't just a normal episode... We discuss the film (mostly) with most of our guests from the past year!!! It is such a feel good episode to just put on and relax :) We discuss the festive season and happy memories from the past year and look on the bright side! More good news is that our books from next year are now all announced on our instagram: @timeturnercollective! We'll see you next mon...

November 27, 2020 16:06 - 1 hour - 59.7 MBOur last regular episode of the year!! We discuss Agatha Christie's wonderful novel and its two apparently controversial adaptations. However, most excitingly!! this month we are joined by our friend Jenny!! It's been a looooong time coming this one.

Peter Pan ft. Chloe
October 01, 2020 14:16 - 57 minutes - 105 MBBonsoir!! We are back with a nice back to school episode (kinda?). This year in uni me (Laura) and Amelia both take a children's literature module. A nice chill and short read right before the big work load hits us! We are joined by our housemate Chloe, whom you all might know from our Guernsey episode. We talk a bunch about context and culture changes and specifically growing up in general. What did Peter Pan mean to us as children? How did we perceive the problematic parts of the book. (an...
Anne of Green Gables
August 28, 2020 12:08 - 1 hour - 113 MBGILBERT BLYTHE. that's it, that's the episode. No, okay. We discuss the rest of Anne of Green Gables and Anne with an E, including ofc the context and farm life style. We are joined by the wonderful Emma!! Our housemate but not quite housemate yet as we are not together :( Anyway, the episode is filled with finding morals, evolution of children's literature and yes, gilbert. This month is our very first decade! and next month we only move up a couple of years to discuss Peter Pan. Just b...
Animal Farm
July 30, 2020 10:02 - 1 hour - 137 MBWelcome to the 1940's where we attempt to discuss Animal Farm, but mostly discuss communism and anything else that is on our mind. We consume some alcohol, say things, and don't analyse a lot. But deffo a fun one, we go a bit off the rails, in the best way possible tbh. Yes it is a bit chaotic but did you know there are animals in this?? ANIMALS?? no one told us!!! (lack of actual farms though, sure there is one but god we wanted ~cottage core~. A slightly unprepared episode as our guest was...
On The Road
June 28, 2020 17:54 - 1 hour - 141 MBNot going to lie we were all a bit shocked to see Harry Potter so grown up in Kill Your Darlings, so we did some background checking and decided to discuss On The Road for the month of June! We travel back to the 50's in America and are doing by our fave sash partner: Cat. Cat brings us ALL of the inside information from her 15 y/o tumblr experiences in regards to the BEAT generation and we all discuss and rank the hotness of these now dead people? It all makes sense, just give it a listen. ...
Good Omens
May 29, 2020 09:56 - 1 hour - 126 MBI am incredibly sorry for that awful pun, but I do think it is slightly ironic that we planned an end of the world book during a global pandemic... Realism is popping off, truly. Anyway, this month we are joined by the lovely Ana who has had a slight present in all of our episodes anyway! Ana normally provides us with The Studio TM, but this month we are recording from the comfort of our bedrooms, (or closets if you are Amelia). We discuss Good Omens, which we all are wildly excited about an...
Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy
April 30, 2020 10:05 - 50 minutes - 92.9 MBThis month we are joined by Daphne, Laura's sister but also our good friend!!!, to discuss Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy by John le Carré and its film! (with that we mean mostly the film as it cleared a lot up for us) We really went out of comfort zones here in reading but were very grateful for it, we loved the book! We just had the problem that we had no clue as to what was going on, but the film exists and saved us!!!! Listen to us rave about 90% of the most well known white male actors in Br...
The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society
March 25, 2020 23:59 - 1 hour - 111 MBIt is our third episode already! We are joined by two of Amelia's high school friends (and also Laura's current friends;)): Chloe and Freya, who are more prepared than we are. It makes our most organised episode yet, maybe. Filled with amusing tangents, we still manage to discuss the major themes of the book AND movie (*ahem* film, sorry Freya). We cover historical context, the entire cast, and the BEAUTIFUL scenery, while also criticising what the film lacked (spoiler alert: it is surprisin...
Blade Runner/ Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?
February 28, 2020 00:24 - 59 minutes - 109 MB*tw: sexual assault discussion from 18:00 to 21:00* In our second episode we discuss Philip k. Dick's 1960's novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? better known as Blade Runner. This time we are joined by our friend and colleague Jonas!! Listen to us slowly descend into madness after a night of no sleep and too much Oscars. The episode follows this trend as we discuss the important aspects of the novel, as well as our Oscar highlights (and least favourite moments *ahem*). Next month we ...
The Waste Land
January 29, 2020 00:00 - 1 hour - 112 MBOur very first official episode! We discuss our shortest work of the year and delve into the 1920's! Listen to us discuss The Waste Land by T.S. Eliot through means of musical numbers and lack of theories or geographical understanding. As it is our very first book episode we decide to take this one on with just the two of us... You can see how that went. (No we are actually really proud and excited to share this little gem) I'd say it is a solid hour of us geeking out over words and waters, ...
the prologue
January 01, 2020 00:00 - 9 minutes - 18.2 MBOur very first baby of an episode! There is no discussion of literature yet but we discuss ourselves, also very important of course!
