My New Favourite Reading Podcast!

When February started, I found myself in a rut. I’d binge-listened to over 30 hours of the Collected Sherlock Holmes Stories on Audible in January, and was tired out from audiobooks.

However, I still desperately wanted to listen to things. I found that listening to things helped break up my days that I was spending mostly indoors. It was preventing me from going stir-crazy, which is apt for this…

‘The Lady from the Black Lagoon: Hollywood Monsters and the Lost Legacy of Milicent Patrick’

The Creature from the Black Lagoon, despite its unimaginative name, is a pretty darn good film for something that was just supposed to be a monster movie.
