Alice in wonderland part 2 - March Hare Burns 02.07.2021

Part 2! And we're all not invited to the Mad Hatters Tea Party, but we're all going anyway! We speak a lot about colonial racism in this episode, seriously, everything is so racist, how history is so bad! I know we know this, but f0ck, we need to do so much better not just because of the inequality we still have today, but to atone for all the horrors of the past! And on a lighter note, listen to...

Alice in Wonderland part 1 - Social distance this pr1ck! 25.06.2021

NEW SERIES and we're taking a look at a classic I'm sure we all know, but how well do we actually know it? Alice is eloquent as fuck for a 6 year old, no? Why would a fully grown man depict a child as being more mature than they really - oh ok, right, yeah I see what he's doing there. F*ck sake. Yeah, TW for pedophilia. Enjoy! And Don't yeet lizards!

Antigone part 2 - Hymen Scream 11.06.2021

Is Hymen Scream the best name for a feminist thrash metal band or what? I'm making an album cover, it's going to be a thing. Anyway - trigger warning! This contains all the suicide references (spoiler? It's a Greek tragedy, what did we think was going to happen?) AND! The erasure of women in this is ridiculous!!! They forget Antigone!!! IT'S F0CKING NAMED AFTER HER!!! Thank you for joining us on o...

Antigone part one - R U god tho? 04.06.2021

Why is Antigone sorting out everyone else's shit? Antigone might have had things she wanted to do with her life, but no, she's busy sorting all the men out, making sure they all feel listened to and respected and Ismene, shit, has anyone seen Ismene?!?!

Oedipus at Colonus pt 2 - You're Welcome 28.05.2021

Greek plays are a bit weird, only one character is blind but they all have blind faith! And again - how is this not a comedy?! Who would you cast in our stage version of Oedipus?

Oedipus at Colonus part 1 - Colon Wars 21.05.2021

Welcome back! We have missed cackling at ridiculous stories so much! What the fuck are Greek plays? This had us cracking up! Join us as we find out what Oedipus has been up to since he got banished for being gross.

King Oedipus part 2 - I'll hate you forever 30.04.2021

Well, that was... surreal... how is this not comedy?? Well, it all just goes to shit tbh, but in the most weird way, just listen, I think this is one of the most bizarre texts we've looked at. Also! We are going to be taking a short break, but will be resuming the Theban Plays here on 19th May! But don't worry, we will be around before then! Tonight we are doing a livestream on Twitch with N'Calma...

King Oedipus part 1 - it was a cat! 23.04.2021

So I (Marsha) read The Theban Plays at school, but fuck, I did not remember how batshit they are! Descend into the surreal with us as we take a look at the festering faeces pile that is Oedipus' life!

Rebecca final part - Terrible People 16.04.2021

Suicide TW for this episode! Sorry, but how awful are these main characters?! I mean Rebecca is problematic for sure, but DW - you savage!!!! And obviously Maxim is 100% trashy trash, bin, now! That being said, how fun was this book! Thank you so much for listening along with us! We've had so much fun and cant wait to start The Theban Plays!

Rebecca part 5 - Goodnight Father Goodman 09.04.2021

The world of comedy took a hard hit this week, thank you for all the laughs Paul Ritter, you will be so missed. In the world of Rebecca, Jaysus! It's all kicking off! Danny has properly lost it, what's the deal with the boat in the bay? And also lol, sorry for some reason we spoke about The Amber Spyglass for ages, skip that bit if you don't want spoilers!

Rebecca part 4 - Slipper Hands 02.04.2021

Slipper hands! Why the fuck are there slipper hands!??? Shit goes down in this episode AND oh my, racism trigger warning! Lots of rants in this one, but also, so much fucking drama!! Strap in guys, put your slippers on your hands - you're in for one hell of a ride!

Rebecca part 3 - Cringe on fouckang cringe! 26.03.2021

Uggggghhhhh my insides crunch at this episode! DW 2.0, stahhhpppppp!!! Everyone stop, and Maxim jump in the sea, and why do families still need to identify their loved ones bodies when photos are a thing???????

Rebecca part 2 - Screaming at rhododendrons 19.03.2021

Well DW 2.0 is the house! Manderley to be specific, and it's not smooth sailing at all. Join us as we see what cringe and horrors are awaiting! As we all know, it has been a ridiculous couple of weeks for women, our thoughts are with Sarah Everard's loved ones, she should have been safe and gotten home. And due to that, a lot of this episode is us discussing the police brutality we've seen, the at...

Rebecca Part One - Island Vanhopping 12.03.2021

Ok, I'm a little too proud of that title... Katy is taking us through Rebecca, in this first part we meet the Narrator, aka DW 2.0 (it'll make sense), and the mysterious Maxim, plus the missed opportunity for a book about female empowerment that is Mrs Vanhopper! Hope you enjoy! Sorry if it's a few days late! Let us know what the sound quality is like, however, if it's shit, not sure Marsha knows...

Little Women Final Part- Rampantly Erect! 23.02.2021

What a rollercoaster this episode is! Death, "romance", a bear, more death! Marsha literally cried and then nearly wet herself laughing during this episode. So if you ever wondered what the official voice of  bear sounds like, or want to see how to truly bring the mood down when ending a book - tune in!

Little Women Part 6 - For Amy!! 17.02.2021

You now Amy was kinda a dick before? Well lol, I guess karma is a thing because it came for her. But seriously, the way Meg's marriage (ooh spoiler) is dealt with with John is f*d! Like, I know it's old but it's hard to believe anyone would put up with this shit! And Laurie is a dick and it's bullshit his character  gets all the best lines, but he is  hilllllaaarrrrioussss in this, furth...

Little Women Part 5 - The Dark Days 10.02.2021

Oh gaddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd! It's all happening guys! They're dropping like flies and Jo's got it worst, not really, she just talks more than anyone else. Join us as we see the unravelling of the Marchs' (Marches?), will Marmee save the day? Will Katy drop more spoilers about the whole plot? Time will tell...

Little Women Part 4 - The Spread Eagle 03.02.2021

Part 4! This week is a real mix! We see what awaits Meg when emerges into society, we meet Laurie's tutor Mr Brooke, why taking a break is a bad thing and uncover some childhood trauma for Marsha. It's a blast!

Little Women Part 3 - Pickled Limes... wtf? 27.01.2021

This episode is all things Amy, who is Katy, Amty? Kamy? Anyway, if you were vibing Amy before, get ready to do a swift 180! And that's not just because her questionable taste in snacks!

Little Women Part 2 - Are you crying with a rat? 20.01.2021

You know what, with a few lighting  and music changes Little Women would make an excellent horror. Join the debate of who is the creepiest March girl, cringe at Jo in general and decide what games you'd play with a rat friend! Oh it's all going on in Unclassical this week!

Little Women part 1 - Beth is Meg 13.01.2021

Little Women part one is here!! Well 2021, it's... horrific, escape the traumas of today by reliving the traumas of the past! We had so much fun recording this one, how nice is the March family really? Is Katy the family favourite? (obvs). And how charitable are you with your christmas food?

A Christmas Carol Special - (And 78 potatoes) 24.12.2020

Marsha and Katy get festive by taking a look at A Christmas Carol! What didn't make it into the TV adaptations and what do we really think of Pandora bracelets? Get festive and give it a listen now!

Wuthering Heights part 6 - The Horrible Finale! 07.12.2020

Wow, this has been quite the journey guys! Remember how in episode one Marsha was feeling sorry for Heathcliff? What a simpler time! What is wrong with all the men in this book??? (The women aren't great either, but the men really take the biscuit this week). Trigger warnings all round, physical and sexual abuse. Without sounding too psychotic, we have had fun with Wuthering Heights, amidst all th...

Wuthering Heights part 5 - Embrace your kinky destiny 30.11.2020

Well, are the kids alright? No. They're not.  It's the next generation, and they're just as fucked up as their parents. Find out what Cathy 2.0 is up to now! And someone give poor Nellie a much needed bitch break!

Wuthering Heights part 4 - The Season of Rages 23.11.2020

We ummed and ahhed over calling part 4 "the one with all the domestic abuse", so yeah, trigger warning, men are trash, especially Heathcliff. Fuck Heathcliff, seriously, you're going to HATE Heathcliff. Enjoy!
