    Bonus: The Supernatural Sphere

    As we adjust to recording remotely, Kelsey and Sydney got tipsy on Thanksgiving and recorded this absolute abomination, in which Kelsey has a lot of questions about the 2005-2020 show Supernatural and Sydney attempts to answer them. All of our episodes are exclusively for Taylor, but this one is perhaps......the most exclusively for Taylor. Listen at your own peril. We're still planning on discussing Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier next week, so stay tuned and read the book! Transcript and website coming soon. You can email us at englishcornerpod@gmail.com or find us on Twitter @EngCornerPod. Our music is 'I dunno' by Grapes.  cw: references to sexual assault, child abuse, and violence
