Chamomile & Clove

Thank you so much for joining us for this extended episode of our A Discovery of Witches TV season 3 coverage. We love episode 2 of season 3, mostly because of Jack and Father Hubbard. At the beginning of this episode we also take a deep dive into ableism, sanism, and disability in order to tie into our blood rage discussion here in season 3. Enjoy!

The moment we've waited for is finally here! It's premiere day for Season 3 of A Discovery of Witches TV on Sundance Now , Shudder , and AMC+ . It's been a long wait, but we think the end result is glorious -- a fitting and beautiful start to our final season. In this episode, we're talking about all of the important things -- modern Gallowglass (rawr), Baldwin v.2 (we dig), and our collective gri...

Clovers, Clovers.   Somehow, we made it to 2022. It's been a long haul, but we're glad to have you here with us for another year of All Souls fandom. Today, we're spending some time spinning tracks for the one and only Gallowglass -- the wanderer, the guardian, the Scots-inflected, motorcycle-riding, sea shanty-singing, shaggy bear of our hearts. You can find Deb's Gallowglass playlist on Spotify...

Happiest Sunday, wherever you are. We apologize for the minor service interruption -- our day jobs got in the way of us putting out an episode last week, but we're trying to make up for it by delivering big on The Book of Life Playlist. There's giggling, ghosts, and Switchfoot, which feels like par for the course. Deb's playlist for The Book of Life can be found on Spotify . Ours can be found on S...

We're here to toot our own horn *just a little* and say that our combined Matthew Clairmont playlist is most excellent. We've taken the killer beginnings of Deb's original and added some riffs and I don't think you'll be disappointed. There's some big feelings, some melancholy moods, some redemption, some emo -- a glorious range for a complicated man. You can find Deb's original playlist for Matth...

Clovers, As if we haven't discussed Shadow of Night to pieces... we're back! We're talking atmospheric witchiness, soulful ballads, and the oddball genius of Tori Amos. Deb's Shadow of Night playlist is on Spotify .  Ours is available on Spotify and YouTube .  We're having a grand time talking about these playlists and can't wait to dive into the Matthew Clairmont playlist in a few weeks. Do you h...

Happy Halloween, darling Clovers! We're so excited to bring you the second installment of our tour of Deb's All Souls playlists.

We've had so much fun -- we hope you're enjoying it, too. Deb's playlist for Diana Bishop is here . Ours is on Spotify and YouTu...

Dearest, most darling Clovers: We're back to our (mostly) regular programming with something new and hopefully fun. We've decided to use the time between TV seasons to play around in the extraordinary playlists that Deb compiled to go along with the All Souls Trilogy. Accordingly, this episode is all about the playlist for A Discovery of Witches , which you can find on Spotify. As promised, we've...

Clovers. It's been a minute. This was not our plan. As you might have noticed, we've been on a bit of a publishing hiatus -- we were plagued by technical difficulties that caused us to lose not one, not two, but nearly THREE FULLY RECORDED EPISODES. Accordingly, if anyone has seen us in the past few weeks, we've looked a bit like the dog in the fiery room GIF and it hasn't been pretty. This episod...

Dearest and most darling Clovers, it's a big day. Today, we're releasing Episode 100 of Chamomile & Clove -- a milestone we never dreamed of reaching. It's only fitting that we should published Episode 100 while talking about Episode 2x10 of A Discovery of Witches TV, a fitting end to a tremendous season of television. In today's episode, we're talking about character arcs, endings, beginnings, ch...

We're back with our discussion of A Discovery of Witches TV 2x07 and it's rather fun, if we do say so ourselves. In this episode, we're talking about smart adaptation choices, killer costumes, Hapsburg creeps, and how mad we are at the Bosch tease (GIVE US OUR TRIPTYCH, THX). Oh, also: consider this your vaguely inappropriate pun warning. Follow us on Twitter as @chamomilenclove for updates and pr...

Hello dear listeners!

Follow us on Twitter as @chamomilenclove for details and updat...

We hope that you're well, safe, and secure this morning -- it's frigid at C&C HQ-East and not likely to warm up for a few more weeks.
