Episode 14: A Discovery of Witches by Deborah Harkness
Finally, the much anticipated second episode of Modern Month. Since it's basically still March 2020, we can just pretend it hasn't been over five calendar months since our last episode went live. In this episode, Brynn, Ellis, and Cris are joined by their colleague and good friend "Lucy". Together, they discuss Deborah Harkness's fantasy vampire romance academic wish fulfillment novel, A Discovery of Witches. This episode is brought to you by the sense of smell, rich white people sports like horseback riding and rowing, and magical houses with attitude.

Episode 12: Mary Barton by Elizabeth Gaskell
The PhDrunks are back and ready for the revolution after a pandemic fortnight (that's however long it's been since the last episode). In this episode, Brynn, Cris, and Ellis get real fired about class disparity and Victorian gender norms in Elizabeth Gaskell's 1848 novel, Mary Barton. This episode of PhDrunk is brought to you by the concept of labor unions, definitely not falling in love with the guy you've known since childhood, and clemming.
(CA: sexual assault, violence, death)

Episode 1A for Adaptation: Emma (1996), Clueless, and Emma (2020)
Brynn and Ellis step in for a special unscheduled episode in our totally unplanned A for Adaptation miniseries while Cris attempts to adult. They dissect (i.e. drunkenly ramble about) three different movie adaptations of Jane Austen's Emma.: the 1996 adaptation with Gwyneth Paltrow, the beloved and genius Clueless from 1995, and the most recent adaptation of the novel that came out earlier in 2020. This episode is brought to you by empire waistlines, Ill-advised matchmaking, and Paul Rudd's career.

Episode 11: Fantomina by Eliza Haywood
Scandalous! Sexy! Hilarious! We could go on about all of our favorite things about Eliza Haywood's classic novela, Fantomina but we do enough of that in this episode. Our raucous energy is strong in this one, Dear Readers. Haywood would be proud. This episode of PhDrunk is brought to you by multiple secret identities, religious houses of questionable repute, and Opera boxes.

Episode 10: The Odd Women by George Gissing
In classic PhDrunkard style, we drink too many of Ellis's latest Totally Made-Up Cocktail and wonder why someone always has to die in New Women novels. This episode is brought to you by secret gin stashes, free unions, and not talking to strangers,
