Apr 2, 202101:07:46Tap to summarizeEeerhmm 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 Amelia try to figure out how exactly their society works... Did we reach a conclusion? I am not sure but there's only one way to find out... Give it a listen!We'll see you again next month when we're reading The Secret History by Donna Tartt for a completely different episode probably? But then again, all of them have some chaos and laughter so who knows!!In the mean time we will try and be a bit more active over on our Instagram now that we are on our Easter break (please excuse us we are in the last two months of our uni degree during covid, the chaos and stress levels are high.Insta: @timeturnercollectiveWe are available to stream and listen to on most podcasting platforms.

Transcribe →Brooklyn
Mar 1, 202101:01:09Tap to summarizeWe 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 something new everyday!!Next month we will be discussing the wind in the willows with our lovely friend and returning guest jenny!

Transcribe →The Bell Jar
Jan 29, 202100:56:28Tap to summarizeHappy 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 positive notes all around us! We are going through this together and can! And, you know what, if you need some more distraction; we are reading a fun and dramatic novel next month which is very touching. It's Brooklyn by Colm Tóibín, adapted to that film with Saoirse Ronan!!Anywhoooo see you next month. Orrr in the meantime follow us on instagram @timeturnercollective.

Transcribe →Peter Pan ft. Chloe
Oct 1, 202000:57:15Tap to summarizeBonsoir!! 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. (and the film for that matter) Oh and did anyone else notice the fairy orgy? please let us know. 1910 was an interesting time i guess.Next month we will be back to discuss The Martian our most recent of all the books. The smallest jump back to the 2010's!! We will be joined by Katy, a fellow student and our pal who also likes to blog about and discuss all the literature! See u then :)Miss us?
