    The Problem A Lockwood and Co Podcast

    The Problem A Lockwood and Co Podcast

    Caitlin and Alan are watching the Netflix hit Lockwood and Co, and want you to listen along! The Problem will cover each episode of the season, in the hopes that the show can find a new home. Just like in Measures of Truth, we will be comparing the books to the show, and trying to figure out what it all means.

    The Clouded Mountain The Botanic Garden

    The Clouded Mountain The Botanic Garden

    Francis, Caitlin, Anya, and Alan talk about the final two episodes of His Dark Materials! Warning: these episodes could make you violently cry! We sure did. We love gay Mary! Metatron was almost human looking enough to be perfect! Will and Lyra’s story was perfectly heartbreaking.

    The Amber Spyglass Ch 36-38

    The Amber Spyglass Ch 36-38

    Francis, Caitlin, Anya, and Alan finish “The Amber Spyglass!” We debate the nature of Dust. What it means to grow up. If Philip Pulllman planned it all out from the start. We love this book, and we love the bittersweet ending.

    "No Way Out" "The Abyss"

    "No Way Out" "The Abyss"

    Francis, Caitlin, Anya, and Alan loved episodes 305 and 306 of His Dark Materials. No notes. Just great.

    "The Intention Craft" "Lyra and Her Death"

    "The Intention Craft" "Lyra and Her Death"

    Francis, Caitlin, Anya, and Alan debate if Will is a Jedi, can’t remember MacPhail’s new title, and are delighted to hear “Everyone is beautiful.” Ruth Wilson is our favorite again- but we still love to hate Lord Asriel. Iorek using a hammer off-screen was the right choice, but changing the Gallivespians was a mistake.

    The Amber Spyglass Ch 33-35

    The Amber Spyglass Ch 33-35

    Francis, Caitlin, Anya, and Alan debate what exactly happened between Will and Lyra when they confess their love for each other in chapters 33-35 of “The Amber Spyglass.” We also learn about the science of coevolution and the garden of Eden. Who is sex-crazed on the podcast, and are they right?

Love discussion

I have no religious background at all so particularly enjoyed that section of each podcast. I learned a lot and gained a deeper understanding of these books.

I love marzipan.

Feels like the great book club with friends

I love the topics and format of the show. It’s well organized and each person brings a unique perspective and outside knowledge to reading one of my favorite childhood series.

A teleologically perfect podcast

Insightful, learned, and hilarious discussions about the books and TV show. The hosts have great chemistry and each bring a unique and interesting perspective. I look forward to each new episode and can’t wait to begin the book 2 discussion!
