September 19, 2019 melissa Episode, His Dark Materials 01:23:38

To the stars! Or to wherever Lyra just went.

Join us as we trek up the icy ridge of sorting Lord Asriel (00:04:17), up the snowy hill of Ch 22 (00:12:21), over the trembling bridge of Ch 23 (00:33:41), into the aurora-bright alethiometer readings (01:08:33), peering through to a new world for the Mixtape (01:13:13), and we’ll finish torturing this metaphor with the Extra Award (01:18:57), then wrap it all up (01:20:50).

This week, we would like to know what alethiometer symbols you would assign to the whole book. Let us know what you think via twitter (@extraneouspod) or IG (@extraneous.pod), or better yet send us a voicemail at extraneouspod@gmail.comand we can play it on the show!

Just one chapter this week as we get ready for Dumbledo- we mean, Asriel, to arrive next time.

BEARS! We are in Svalbard and there are a lot of bears about, none of which stands as tall as Lyra.

We get started with our sorting segment, and our consideration this week goes to Serafina Pekkala (00:01:58). Next, we move on to our breakdown of chapters 18-19 (00:06:29, 00:50:54). Then, we have our overall impressions of these chapters (01:26:01), our Alethiometer reading (01:28:53), this week’s HDM Mixtape (01:34:17), and Extra Award (01:39:53).
