Episode 36: A Wizard’s Guide to Defensive Baking

This week we're reading A Wizard's Guide to Defensive Baking by T. Kingfisher.


We're talking homicidal sourdough starter, naughty gingerbread and reluctant heroes.


We're also talking main characters who call out all the adults not doing their job, the joys of young adult fiction and taking a detour or ten.


Holly missed the joy of sourdough in lockdown but is officially in love with Bob, Harley is baking gingerbread in the hope of getting a spicy sidekick (side-cookie?) of her own.

We also talked about the author’s other works, The Fall of the House of Usher by Edgar Allan Poe, Mexican Gothic by Silvia Morena-Garcia (which we did an episode on here), Steven King, Heroes, The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins, Fight Club by Chuck Palahnuik, Hells Angels by Hunter S. Thompson and we referenced both Harry Potter and A Streetcar Named Desire.
