Probably too late now, but I just got a chance to listen to the bit of this episode about The Turn of the Screw … here is the version I listened to. Free and really well read.
We recorded The Turn Of The Screw show just a few hours ago, Scott still needs to edit it and it wont post until next Monday. If you’re super into it we might be able to add an addendum or follow up.
