About this listen

 Every July and December, Juliet L'mous and their co-host playwright Katherine Varga take a piece of holiday pop culture and discuss it through the lens of a piece of topical classic literature — like the seminal hit "Last Christmas" through Jorge Luis Borges' famous essays "Kafka and His Precursors" and "A New Refutation of Time".
